Human Factors; Weather
Winds were 280 at 22 gusting 34. Previous aircraft reported loss of 10 kts. at 100 ft. Skies were clear; visibility was unrestricted. Visual approach Runway 33L. Captain was PF (Pilot Flying). I was PM (Pilot Monitoring) and was calling out all of the gains and losses I observed. We got a wind shear caution. I did not notice any significant change in airspeed or altitude with the caution; but I still called out 'wind shear caution.' Captain called 'continue.' A few seconds later we got a wind shear warning. I called 'Go-around.' The Captain immediately pushed the throttles up and said; 'go-around; set thrust.' I set go-around thrust. Captain called 'flaps 8.' Noticing we were out of the wind shear condition and climbing significantly; I set flaps 8. Me: 'positive rate.' Captain: 'gear up; speed mode.' My memory of the order of the following events is opaque; but in any case the order is trivial. In summary; Tower told us to climb to 8;000 ft.; turn left to a heading; and contact Potomac Approach. I also engaged heading mode; engaged autopilot; and set flaps zero once commanded by the PF. We changed to Runway 28; took vectors for the visual approach; landed; and taxied to the gate uneventfully. I do not know how long the wind shear warning remained displayed on the PFD. As I recall; I only looked for increasing airspeed and altitude trends when I changed aircraft configuration; I did not look to see if the message went away or not; so it may have still been there when I changed configuration. In hindsight; I should have paid more attention to the existence of the wind shear message; to ensure it went away prior to any configuration changes. Next time I go-around due to wind shear; I will pay more attention to the wind shear warning message; and ensure that I do not change the flap configuration if it is still displayed on my PFD.
CRJ200 First Officer reported wind shear on approach that resulted in a go around.
