It's been too long. I get Air Force weather reports here and I can't always decipher all of it. Break this stuff down for me.

That's the winds right but explain that one to me. Is that 300 Degrees (Blowing out of right?) at 73 Knts Gusting to 89. So if I was flying due north I would have a left quartering wind off the nose?

Only thing I know for sure off that is the Altimeter setting is 29.82?


Any help you can provide may save a life. :S

Yup, not exactly an airport, a mountain top weather reporting station at Berthod Pass. With winds that high in the mountains, I wouldnt want to be flying anywhere near that pass.

The winds in the mountains the past few days have been unbelievable. Some friends of mine were driving on I-70 and got hit with a wind gust that blew out 3 windows in their car...and they wern't the only ones either. Several state patrol cars got caught up in the mess with them. We figured it takes around a 200 MPH gust to cause that kind of damage.
