Weather Briefing
LIFRNew Richmond Regional Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 5 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 20 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.

About New Richmond Regional Airport
Overview
New Richmond Regional Airport serves the western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota region as a medium-sized airport located near the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Situated at 998 feet mean sea level with coordinates 45.148300, -92.538101, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for general aviation and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 71.2% of observations reporting visual flight rules. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -31°C to 31°C, with an average temperature of 2°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the west at an average of 7.3 knots, with calm conditions occurring 16.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 2,110-foot grass runway (04/22) and a 5,507-foot asphalt runway (14/32). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with Runway 14/32 offering a slightly lower average crosswind of 3.5 knots compared to Runway 04/22's 5.7 knots. Visibility averages 9.2 statute miles, with only 2.1% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most consistent VFR flying months, with optimal weather conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility during 1.4% of observations due to fog. The predictable western wind pattern and low crosswind percentages provide relatively straightforward approach and departure conditions for most aircraft operations.
