Narrative:
On a flight from dca to hpn on takeoff we were cleared to intercept the dca 328 degree radial off of runway 36. Immediately after takeoff we turned to about a 325 degree heading. There were reports of windshear, and there was a report of a small microburst north of the field. With this in mind we climbed at rather higher angle of climb than usual. The winds were very strong after lift-off blowing us east of course. We corrected more to the west about 20 degrees and finally intercepted the 328 degree radial. We basically remained over the potomac river, but we may have intruded into the prohibited area north of the field. I feel being somewhat preoccupied with the threat of windshear coupled with the turbulence, distracted us. Nothing was mentioned by ATC.

Title: POSSIBLE INTRUSION INTO PROHIBITED AREA AFTER TKOF AND CLB FROM DCA. STRONG WINDS, MICROBURST AND WINDSHEAR RPTS CONTRIBUTED TO THE TRACK DEV.
Narrative: ON A FLT FROM DCA TO HPN ON TKOF WE WERE CLRED TO INTERCEPT THE DCA 328 DEG RADIAL OFF OF RWY 36. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TKOF WE TURNED TO ABOUT A 325 DEG HDG. THERE WERE RPTS OF WINDSHEAR, AND THERE WAS A RPT OF A SMALL MICROBURST N OF THE FIELD. WITH THIS IN MIND WE CLBED AT RATHER HIGHER ANGLE OF CLB THAN USUAL. THE WINDS WERE VERY STRONG AFTER LIFT-OFF BLOWING US E OF COURSE. WE CORRECTED MORE TO THE W ABOUT 20 DEGS AND FINALLY INTERCEPTED THE 328 DEG RADIAL. WE BASICALLY REMAINED OVER THE POTOMAC RIVER, BUT WE MAY HAVE INTRUDED INTO THE PROHIBITED AREA N OF THE FIELD. I FEEL BEING SOMEWHAT PREOCCUPIED WITH THE THREAT OF WINDSHEAR COUPLED WITH THE TURB, DISTRACTED US. NOTHING WAS MENTIONED BY ATC.
