Wind Shear warning 06 DEC at 1522

From ATIS this afternoon - is the SIGWX unusual in quoting the a/c type?

No, that is a normal windshear report.

An earlier ATIS stated that a Saab 340 reported overshoot shear on final just after the southerly went through. Not sure if it was moderate or not.

If it's on the ATIS, it's at least Moderate.

There was a lot of that all afternoon.

All times are GMT +10. The time now is 11:58 PM.
