Weather Briefing

VFR

Will Rogers World Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 5,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 9 knots with gusts to 16 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 5,000 ft, few at 10,000 ft, few at 25,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 02:00Z and 08:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Will Rogers World Airport

Overview

Will Rogers World Airport serves as the primary commercial airport for Oklahoma City, situated at an elevation of 1,295 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 35.393388, -97.598248, the airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for central Oklahoma, supporting both commercial passenger and cargo operations.

Flying Conditions

Oklahoma City's geographic location creates variable weather conditions that pilots must carefully monitor. The airport's multiple runways (13/31, 17L/35R, 17R/35L, and 18/36) provide significant operational flexibility across different wind and weather scenarios, with primary runways offering substantial lengths of 7,800 to 9,802 feet.

Notable Features

The airport features four runways with varying surface compositions, including precision and non-precision pavement types (PEM and CON). Its substantial runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft, from regional commuters to larger commercial jets, with the longest runway measuring 9,802 feet on the 17L/35R configuration.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's multiple runway orientations, with runway 17L/35R and 17R/35L offering the longest approach surfaces. The diverse runway options allow for optimal wind alignment and provide strategic alternatives during challenging meteorological conditions.
