Weather Briefing
VFRNorwood Memorial Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 10 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Norwood Memorial Airport
Overview
Norwood Memorial Airport serves the Greater Boston metropolitan area, situated in Norwood, Massachusetts. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for general aviation, business, and regional transportation in the eastern Massachusetts region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 70.3% of the time, with MVFR and IFR conditions occurring less frequently. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -17°C to 28°C, which pilots should consider for performance planning. Average visibility is excellent at 8.6 statute miles, with only 6.8% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.
Notable Features
Located at a modest elevation of 49 feet MSL, Norwood Memorial Airport features two parallel runways: 10/28 at 3,995 feet and 17/35 at 4,008 feet. Wind patterns are consistently from the west (270°) with an average speed of 7.4 knots, and calm conditions occur 37% of the time. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment with minimal average crosswind components.
Approach Considerations
November, December, and October represent the best VFR months for operations. Pilots can expect relatively stable wind conditions with an average speed of 7.4 knots, though maximum recorded winds have reached 107 knots. Runway selection should prioritize 10/28 and 17/35, both of which have favorable wind alignments and minimal crosswind challenges.
