I noticed that with the wxgraphic...when it displays the "gust" it is not my maximum high wind gust for the day, but only the gust for most recent time period....where as my avatar that I am using from wxhost, under my username on left, does display the highest gust for today (currently 16mph at time of writting this message)
so there must be something I can edit within the config file of wxgraphic (banner), the question is what do I need to do to make it display my daily highest wind gust within this part of the config file below:
