When wind shear is detected by a remote station, what happens on the LLWAS display?

Explanation:
When wind shear is detected, LLWAS signals both a visual and an audible alert for the affected runway. The LLWAS display is organized with rows for each runway’s arrival/departure status, so the row corresponding to the impacted runway will flash to draw attention, and an audible alarm will sound to ensure the alert is noticed promptly. This dual cue helps pilots and controllers quickly identify exactly which runway is affected. The entire display does not dim, and the alert focuses on the specific runway rather than the whole panel.
