Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs) provide timely weather information. When

significant weather conditions are reported or forecast, Air Traffic Control (ATC)

facilities are required to solicit PIREPs. A PIREP may contain non-forecast adverse

weather conditions, such as low in-flight visibility, icing conditions, wind shear,

and turbulence. PIREPs are issued as either Routine (UA) or Urgent (UUA). The

update rate is approximately every 20 minutes.
