    i.  BDX Meter

        a.  Weather Impacts:

-   TS within 20 NM of airport

-   IFR/LIFR conditions at airport

-   Direct cross wind \> 25 kt

-   SFC-120 winds \> 50 kt shear

-   Winds swinging E or W of due N or S

-   Winds swinging N or S of due E or W

    i.  En Route

        a.  Weather Impacts

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   SVR lines of weather that will result in playbook reroutes

-   Mod-Sev turbulence/chop will result in altitude compression which
    can overload a sector

    i.  Military Ops./ Weather Coordinator

        a.  Weather Impacts:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   SVR weather dramatically increases workload on Weather Coordinator
    due to MISs, CWAs, and reroutes.

    i.  Monitor Alert

        a.  Weather Impacts:

-   TS within the airspace that will relocate traffic from one sector to
    another.

v.  Departure Fix/Gate Significant Weather

    a.  TS impacting departure corridors will cause aircraft to depart
        into arrival gates or reroutes to other departure gates.

    b.  Visibility - No issues.

    c.  Ceilings - No issues.

    d.  Weather - No issues.

    e.  Other Significant Weather-Related Issues:

    -   Weather impacting one gate will cause departures to come out in
        a single stream rather than two streams, if both gates are
        blocked, coded Departure Routes (CDRs) will be used which will
        route impacted departures via a different direction.

    -   Snow fall will delay departures and arrivals due to snow removal
        delays.

    -   Freezing precip or snow ill cause delays due to deicing
        operations.

viii. Departure Fix/Gate Significant Weather

      a.  TS impacting departure corridors will cause aircraft to depart
          into arrival gates or reroutes to other departure gates.
          However, not as bad as BDX.

          issues.]{.underline}\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

      e.  Other Significant Weather-Related Issues:

          -   Weather impacting one gate will cause departures to come
              out in a single stream rather than two streams, if both
              gates are blocked, coded Departure Routes (CDRs) will be
              used which will route impacted departures via a different
              direction. However, not as bad as BDX.

          -   Snow fall will delay departures and arrivals due to snow
              removal delays.

          -   Freezing precip or snow will cause delays due to deicing
              operations.
