Wind Gust Analysis (MPH)

NOAA conducted ground and aerial damage surveys in parts of southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. A blend of these surveys along with recorded gust values, and the over-water portion of NOAA’s Hurricane Research Division wind analysis, was utilized to produce this wind gust analysis product. The analysis depicts 3 to 5 second wind gust values with the caveat that local effects can easily result in a +/- 15% variability in gust values at any one location.
