6.3 Center Weather Advisory (CWA) A Center Weather Advisory (CWA) is an aviation weather warning for conditions meeting or approaching national in-flight advisory (AIRMET, SIGMET or Convective SIGMET) criteria. The CWA is primarily used by aircrews to anticipate and avoid adverse weather conditions in the en route and terminal environments. CWAs are available on the Aviation Weather Center (AWC) web site at: http://aviationweather.gov/products/cwsu/.
6.3.1 CWA Issuance CWAs are issued by the NWS Center Weather Service Units (CWSUs). CWSU areas of responsibility in the contiguous U.S. are depicted on Figure 6-12. CWSU Anchorage area of responsibility for Alaska is depicted on Figure 6-13.

Aviation Weather Services, Advisory Circular 00-45F, Change 2 (March 2009)
Figure 6-13. CWSU Anchorage, AK (PAZA) Area of Responsibility
CWAs are valid for up to two (2) hours and may include forecasts of conditions expected to begin within two (2) hours of issuance. If conditions are expected to persist after the advisory’s valid period, a statement to that effect is included in the last line of the text. Additional CWAs will subsequently be issued as appropriate. Notice of significant changes in the phenomenon described in a CWA is provided by a new CWA issuance for that phenomenon. If the forecaster deems it necessary, CWAs may be issued hourly for convective activity.
6.3.2 CWA Communications Headers (UCWA / CWA) The Urgent CWA (UCWA) communications header is intended for those situations where weather conditions have an immediate effect on the safe flow of air traffic within the ARTCC area of responsibility. It is only used when the CWSU meteorologist believes any delay in dissemination to FAA facilities would impact aviation safety. The routine CWA header is used for subsequent issuances of the same phenomenon.
6.3.3 CWA Criteria CWAs are used in the four (4) following situations:
• Precede an Advisory o When the AWC has not yet issued an advisory, but conditions meet or will soon meet advisory criteria.
o In the case of an impending advisory, the CWA can be issued as an Urgent CWA (UCWA) to allow the fastest possible dissemination.
• Refine an existing Advisory o To supplement an existing AWC advisory for the purpose of refining or updating the location, movement, extent, or intensity of the weather event relevant to the ARTCC’s area of responsibility.
AC 00-45F, CHG 2 Section 6: Products for Aviation Hazards Page 6-32
Aviation Weather Services, Advisory Circular 00-45F, Change 2 (March 2009)
• Highlight significant conditions not meeting Advisory criteria o When conditions do not meet advisory criteria, but conditions, in the judgment of the CWSU meteorologist, will adversely impact air traffic within the ARTCC area of responsibility.
• To cancel a CWA when the phenomenon described in the CWA is no longer expected.

If issuance prior to coordination is necessary, a statement regarding the area(s) affected is included in the text, e.g., LINE TS EXTDS NW INTO ZOB CTA.
