Surface winds are normally estimated to be 90% of the 700mb or 10000ft Flight Level Wind.
they should have been lower then the normal 700mb flight level... matter of fact they were flying at about 168 meters (~ 551 feet) durning that part of the leg... went back to find where the max flight level wind was at... i could only find the 18:30 after one... not the "Maximum Flight Level Wind: 53kts (~ 61.0mph) in the northeast quadrant at 22:18:10Z"... so i'm not sure what the reduction rate is on that... i see they bumped the 8pm adv. up to 50mph... WoW.. from a Low to TD to TS all less than 16 hrs... crazy
