Narrative:
On final approach in a rain shower (maybe a circuit breaker) our windshear alert system activated. The captain immediately pushed the throttles full forward and raised the nose. We lost 17 KTS, but because we were flying bug plus 13 and even slightly faster than that, our 17 KT loss equated to only reference minus 2. Aircraft climb performance was excellent. We executed a missed approach. We then landed on 16R. Throughout this event, airport perimeter winds were about 180/05.

Title: ACR LGT RECEIVED AN ACFT GENERATED WIND SHEAR ALERT ON 3 NM FINAL TO SLC IN TSTM ACTIVITY.
Narrative: ON FINAL APCH IN A RAIN SHOWER (MAYBE A CB) OUR WINDSHEAR ALERT SYS ACTIVATED. THE CAPT IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE THROTTLES FULL FORWARD AND RAISED THE NOSE. WE LOST 17 KTS, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE FLYING BUG PLUS 13 AND EVEN SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THAT, OUR 17 KT LOSS EQUATED TO ONLY REF MINUS 2. ACFT CLB PERFORMANCE WAS EXCELLENT. WE EXECUTED A MISSED APCH. WE THEN LANDED ON 16R. THROUGHOUT THIS EVENT, ARPT PERIMETER WINDS WERE ABOUT 180/05.
