It’s sad that many dispatchers do not have the wherewithal to analyze wind conditions at canned alternates. They merely look at ceiling and visibility. On occasion there is the sharp dispatcher who reviews NOTAMS to ensure all lighting aids are up and running when conducting low visibility operations at both primary and alternate airports.
Pilots must be cognizant of these conditions where dispatchers are lacking. Wx and NOTAMS are equally important if enroute diversion is required. Not a good time to paint yourself into a corner.
