Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:12:37 -0400

Several microburst alerts culminated into a 55 knot microburst alert as an isolated thunderstorm passed directly over Syracuse-Hancock International Airport. Our download section now includes a clip beginning with a Northwest Airlines aircraft that had just departed SYR negotiating vectors with departure control around thunderstorm cells out to the west. Following this brief exchange are several microburst alerts of increasing intensity being issued by the tower/ground controller. The clip wraps up with an approaching aircraft being informed of the conditions at the airport.

The clip has been edited to remove some of the dead-air. Thanks to Peter Ricciardiello for sending it to us!
