In WFDSS BFB and STFB, forecasted wind speed and direction values are obtained from the National Digital Forecast Data (NDFD). NDFD uses the center of the landscape extent to derive the forecasted winds. Both the wind speed and wind direction values CAN be modified by the user. ———– Last updated on 11/8/2010 12:21:29 PM.
