When wind shear is detected by a remote station, an audible alarm will sound and ____________.

Explanation:
Wind shear alerts in LLWAS trigger both an audible alarm and a specific visual cue to pinpoint where the issue is. The visual cue is that the corresponding runway arrival/departure row on the LLWAS display will flash, signaling which runway’s approach path is affected. This targeted indication helps the controller quickly focus on the runway involved and take appropriate action. The entire LLWAS display blinking would be less informative, the wind direction indicator isn’t part of this alert, and ATIS broadcasts are not connected to LLWAS alerts.
