Re: Jeanne Moving West

You are correct.
Flight level winds of 110kts equals 126.67mph. With a 90% surface factor that would give surface winds of 114mph.
I found a quick way to estimate surface winds. Just take the flight level windspeed in kts, change the kts to mph. It give you a rough estimate, within about 5mph.
