Following the crash of a Southern Airways jet at New Hope, Georgia, on April 4, 1977, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognized the need of timely dissemination of hazardous weather conditions to flight crews (National Transportation Safety Board, 1977). The establishment of the Center Weather Service Unit (CWSU) in each of the Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) resulted. The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is a major complex--rated the second busiest in the world behind Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). The paper will examine the impact that adverse weather conditions, especially those that may not be accurately forecast, can have on DFW operations. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of coordination between the CWSU and ARTCC personnel, and also between the CWSU and the Weather Service Forecast Office (WSFO).
