For flight operations
EFVS crews: the CHASE board ranks airports by live fog status, approach lighting, go-around height and flight time from your base. Forecast probabilities publish here per-airport once the calibrated model beats climatology on live verification — until then this page shows NWS guidance wording and measured climatology only. Methodology & verification.
