Forecast Wind TREND for locations

Forecast wind trend.  It indicates the change in a location’s forecast wind from the prior forecast advisory and is extremely helpful in quantifying the effect of a newly released forecast from the National Hurricane Center (or JTWC).  This information will be included on all location impact type reports as well as the risk analysis function, the narrative impact statement and a county thematic chart.
