For LLWS or microburst, ATIS must include wind shear information for at least how many minutes after the last report?

Wind shear alerts in ATIS are required to stay in effect for a minimum period after the last report of LLWS or a microburst. The rule is that ATIS must include wind shear information for at least 20 minutes after that final report. This ensures pilots approaching or departing have a reliable heads-up during the critical phases of flight, even if the weather event ends shortly after the last observation. The 20-minute window also helps account for lingering atmospheric conditions that can still affect airspeed and airplane handling.

So, if the last wind shear report is issued, the ATIS must continue to carry the wind shear information for 20 minutes from that time.
