Brian, came across this old post of yours (below). What you are describing here does not work properly if the Blocked In mode is used for the wind speed graphing. The max gust ( and other gusts) come and go as the graph updates every minute. So you will indeed see the max gust, but often you will have to wait for the next minutes update for it to reappear. Hopefully this can be fixed, as the blocked in mode does give a better overall look to the graph. Thanks.
with the latest 10.36u update
i recommend it
for graphing intervals greater than 6 hours, the correct max gust is now shown on the graph
(before, it was just plotting the max gust at that point in time…but there could have been higher gusts in between those plot points,…,…now WD checks for the max gust in between the plot points)
i think this is a good improvement, and something I have been wanting to do for a while now
(note, i still need to add this routine to the view, graph history)
