How to determine station wind direction and speed...

Calculate wind speed and direction for the following…

#1 #2 #3
 Challenge 1: Fill in the information based on
the weather station model
Temperature =
Dewpoint =
Wind Direction =
Cloud Cover (%) =
Visibility =
Present Weather =
Pressure Now =
Precipitation =

Bonus Question
Pressure in 6 hours will be…
 Challenge 2: Create a station model based on
the following information
Temperature = 45F
Dewpoint = 32F
Wind = NE at 20 knots
Overcast = 100% cloud cover
Visibility = 1.5 miles
Current Weather = Rain Showers
Pressure Now = 997.3 mb
Pressure Change = 1.2 mb
Barometer Falling
Precipitation = .53 in.
