WINDS ALOFT
Winds Aloft data shows the forecasted wind speed and direction at the surface
and at selected altitudes. Altitudes can be displayed in 3,000-foot increments up to
39,000 feet MSL.
Winds Aloft are displayed using wind barbs. The wind barbs indicate wind speed
and direction and always point in the direction that the wind is coming from. The wind
speed is depicted using flags at the end of the wind barb. A short wind flag is 5 knots,
a long wind flag is 10 knots, and a filled triangle is 50 knots. Wind barbs are also color
coded to indicate wind speed.
