Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

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

Located at an elevation of 160 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Newport area, offering two paved runways that support various general aviation and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Newport Municipal Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 60.1% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential marginal conditions, as MVFR and IFR conditions occur in 29.6% of observations, with prevailing southerly winds averaging 9.1 knots and temperatures ranging from 1°C to 26°C.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalted runways: Runway 02/20 at 3,000 feet and Runway 16/34 at 5,398 feet. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.3 and 5.6 knots respectively. The coastal location suggests potential maritime weather influences and associated visibility challenges.

Approach Considerations

Visibility averages 8.6 statute miles, with occasional restrictions below 3 miles and light fog presence. January, October, and December represent the most consistent VFR months. Pilots should prepare for potential wind and visibility variations, particularly during transitional seasonal periods, and maintain awareness of the airport's coastal environmental characteristics.
