WindRyder, the Skyway sensor is notorious for always reading high (compared to the wind where we actually launch).
It has for several years and unfortunately probably always will. It's basically a useless "tool".
I just got back. It was blowing 4. It says 17.

At times yesterday it was good (around 3 to 5 it averaged 13 gusting to 17 or so) , but by looking at the sensor, it looked good all day.
I tend to read other sensors around the area and average them or better yet, stick my finger outside.
What I mean to say is, don't worry, the Skyway isn't some magical windy area, it just has a sensor that reads high (alot).
