RAW TEXT: 

EVENT TIME: 06/0200 - AND LATER
TERMINAL CONSTRAINTS:
BOS/NY/ORD/ATL/-LOW CIGS/LO VIS
ORD/MEM/ATL/DFW/IAH-WINDS
ATL/CLT/DTW-TSRA
DFW-RWY 18L/36R CLOSED WEEKENDS UNTIL 05/07/17
JFK-RWY 4R/22L CLSD UNTIL 6/1/17
MCO-RWY 18L/36R CLSD UNTIL 04/27/17

ENROUTE CONSTRAINTS:
ZAU/ZKC/ZID/ZME/ZHU/ZTL/ZJX-THUNDERSTORMS
ZJX-MILOPS/SUN N FUN
ZTL/ZJX-MASTERS
ZDC-ARs CLOSED NORTH AND SOUTHBOUND ALL ALTITUDES, UPDATE AT 0300

ALL TERMINAL ISSUES RESOLVED. ROUTES CONTINUE TO EXPIRE. ALL TRAFFIC IN ZJX
IS BEING FORCED TO THE WEST SIDE DUE TO THE WEATHER. EXPECT LARGE MILES IN
TRAIL OUT OF ZMA WHICH WILL CAUSE DEPARTURE DELAYS. EXPECT EARLY CALLS
REFERENCE THE NY OPERATION TOMORROW AND A 0930Z CALL REFERENCE THE ORD
OPERATION.

**********PRELIMINARY GOALS FOR APRIL 6, 2017**********

Manage BOS/PHL airport to keep departure delays to less than 75 minutes
and airborne holding to less than 45 minutes due to weather impacts

Balance throughput for EWR/LGA/JFK/TEB/MMU with less than 60 minutes of
delay difference between airborne holding and departure delays due to
weather and sector complexities

Implementation of structured TRANSCON routings at least 90 minutes prior
to effective time due to thunderstorms 

Implementation of AFPs at least 120 minutes prior to effective time due to
Mid Atlantic convective impacts

**********PERTI PLAN FOR APRIL 6, 2017**********

PERTI Plan: Widespread, varying NAS weather impacts for the East Coast at
most major airports to start with low ceilings/visibility, rain and gusty
south east winds moving into the NY area early morning expected to force
ILS 13 ops at JFK/LGA and lead to unfavorable runway configurations for the
N90 metro and satellite airports. Alternating use of airspace between TEB
and LGA and enroute convective activity could drive t e early issuance of
GS/GDPs with low AAR/ADRs. The BOS/PHL, DC, areas could also open with low
IFR conditions and require TMIs. Thunderstorm activity in the SE U. S.
moving eastward and pushing into the Mid Atlantic could impact CLT area
early morning, then the DC metro, PHL and NY areas and lead to SWAP/CDRs
and TMIs. Due to the timing and intensity of convection in ZID/ZOB/ZDC/ZTL
and later into ZNY/ZBW - structured regional, low level, TRANSCON, CAN and
arrival departure routes to manage demand and balance flows may also be
required. Consideration will also be given to AFP?s. ORD/MDW forecast for
low ceilings, visibility, rain/snow and gusty northerly winds possibly
leading to unfavorable runway configurations and reducing capacity and
leading to GS/GDPs. SFO/LAX morning ceilings could require a GS/GDP and SFO
could see conditions deteriorate again in the evening with rain and gusty
southerly winds impacts.
