Just a note since I am already dealing with this issue... If HWW continues for parts of eastern CT, superintendents are going to pull the plug... Especially in heavily wooded towns...

More often than not, the raw gust output runs hot. Despite the scale being in knots, you're probably better off considering that to be mph, which is a 15% reduction.

When I was a Director of Administrative Services for an area school department, winds were a big issue when you had kids waiting at bus stops and a good possibility a school would lose power during the day.  You'd rather cancel up front than have an early dismissal, especially with elementary school kids.

It all depends on the lapse rates.

- the wind field off the deck is reasonably confident. The ability to mix down? That is rarely so in our climatology for a myriad of limitations.

So you kind have to begin there and start adding offsets as they are implicated by modeling.  Knee jerk shrugging it’s not happening in eye rolling doubt is not one of those offsets.
