Maximum Wind Speed Histogram for KPWM (2004-07)

Hey Gang:

Below is a histogram of the maximum windspeed of the day for the last 4 years over Portland, ME ASOS. Dr. Wagner made this and would like to share his climatology knowledge with y'all.

The long-term average is 15 knots, median is 14 knots. It looks like there are two main peaks. I think the first peak represents cold FROPA and daily onshore winds. The second peak is for nor'esters events.
