Non-meteorologist here (1st post as well...): is there a formula or other standard to define or predict the reduction in wind speed upon encountering land? For example, if there are sustained 60mph winds at the coastline, are there high-confidence ways to predict/forecast winds 1 mile, 2 miles, 5 and 10 miles inland? Where I'm physically situated, and from comments I've seen over the years from others, it seems that forecast gusts rarely reach the speeds predicted in the weather apps.
