Don't forget Bryan,

Last year the SW sensor had a VERY strong tendency to stay pegged all day long at 17 knots regardless of the actual wind where we ride. If you were to sit at the SW on these days, it very rarely (it did a few times) but rarely blew all day from the East or NE. It's more likely to slow by 11am and then fill in again about 2 hours before sunset. So, don't trust the wind history from the SW is my point.

The only wind directions (typically) that it will blow good all day are a true NW cold front and those SSE switching to SSW days at EB (these days tend to be the draw before the coldfront, with a strong t'band just to our north). Amazingly, we had a TON of those days (either NW or SSE) last year on the weekends..... 17 weekends in a row, as I remember. Pretty unreal.

This year the SW sensor seems to be reading about 4 knots high but is consistent and is not getting pegged, which is good.
