Buoy 42057 at 17.6 N, 80.8 W (NE quadrant) reported a maximum 1-minute wind speed of 49 knots last hour, with wave heights up to 18 feet. The pressure at the station as of 3 ET was 999 mb.
Just a note of caution for everyone else -- while the NDBC does have the supplemental measurements on their website for that buoy, as noted above, that isn't the case for all buoys. Generally, their wind measurements are 8-min averages for buoys and 3-min averages for coastal stations. Just a heads-up for those who may use the data at later times. --Clark
