Crosswinds can be bad for takeoffs too.

Close to the best memory of my USAF WX career was spotting an outflow boundary from a nearby CB moments before it hit at PSAB. Station chief was briefing me for shift change up on a lookout platform and said "as you can see, we have a 15kt crosswind advisory out."

I pointed at the CB racing parallel to the runway and said, "Have we got a forty-knot crosswind advisory?"

Chief looked where I was pointing and RAN down the ladder, got on the horn to tower and stopped runway ops. Maybe 10 seconds later the outflow hit - 45 kts. Later he got thanks from a KC135 crew that had been revving for takeoff.
