Note that the winds seem to be verified as the strongest 2-minute sustained winds for the day. This seems to be slightly higher sometimes (a knot or two?) than the hignest value from the hourly METARS.
The monthly climatology table (Preliminary Data F6 form) gives a brief overview of max winds over the past month. You can find this table at the local NWS forecast office web page. Go to climatology, local , Preliminary Climo Data, Latest, GO. Or look at archived for previous month's data.
