Interpreting wind data graphics
Wind is plotted in increments of 5 knots (kts), with the outer end of the symbol
pointing toward the direction from which the wind is blowing. Flags at a the end of the
symbol indicate the wind speed. The wind speed is determined by adding up the
total of the flags, lines, and half-lines, each of which have the following individual
values:
Flag: 50 kts
Line: 10 kts
Half-Line: 5 kts
1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 6076 feet per hour = 1.15 mile per hour.

Rain Amount Guidelines
1/100 (0.01) of an inch of rain – The first measurable amount of rainfall reported by The National Weather Service. This would not leave puddles on the ground and
would slightly wet the surface. This might occur during a light shower for 2-5 minutes or even a drizzle for 2 hours.
1/10 (0.10) of an inch of rain – A light rain for 30-45 minutes, moderate rain for 10 minutes or heavy rain for 5 minutes. Small puddles
would form but usually disappear after a short while.
1/4 (0.25) of an inch of rain – A light rain for 2-3 hours, moderate rain for 30-60 minutes or heavy rain for 15 minutes. There would be
many puddles on the ground and they would not disappear easily.
1/2 (0.5) of an inch of rain – A light rain never reaches this amount, moderate rain for 1-2 hours or heavy rain for 30-45 minutes. There would be
deep standing water and they would last for long periods of time.
3/4 (0.75) of an inch of rain – A light moderate rain never reaches this amount, heavy rain lasting for 2-4 hours. There would be deep
standing water for long periods of time.
One (1.00) inch of rain – A light moderate rain never reaches this amount, heavy rain for several hours (2-5 hours). There
would be deep standing water for long periods of time.
