Wind Report by Address
A wind report by address lists every storm date since October 2021 when the estimated peak gust at one U.S. property reached 40 mph or more, with each date's estimate — as a web report and PDF. Each estimate starts from the NWS analysis of record and is corrected with measured station gusts and storm reports nearby.
What a wind report shows
Each row is one storm date with a single Est. Peak Wind value in mph at the address. Dates when estimated hail at the property reached 0.50 in. or larger appear too, with the hail estimate, so one report covers both hazards. A value below its floor (40 mph, 0.50 in.) shows as a dash.
The headline value is always the at-address estimate. For one date's nearby instruments, their distances and readings, and the arithmetic behind the number, open that date's Audit Report.

Wind damage reports near an address
The public record of a wind event around one property has four parts: NWS Local Storm Reports of wind damage (trees and power lines down, roof and structural damage) and of measured gusts, peak gusts measured at nearby ASOS/AWOS stations, the NWS warnings in effect, and the estimated peak gust at the address itself.
The free Address Lookup lists the warnings, storm reports, and station observations by date, each report with its distance from the property. The Weather Report adds the estimated peak gust at the address. The weather record shows what the wind was; the condition of the property is established by inspection.
How StormAuditor derives the gust
The engine starts from the NWS analysis of record (URMA, 2.5 km) in the grid cell over the property — NOAA HRRR (3 km) only where no analysis exists — then corrects it with a two-pass Cressman/Barnes analysis of measured ASOS/AWOS gusts and measured Local Storm Reports, giving one Est. Peak Wind value per date.
Blind leave-one-station-out testing scores the engine against measured gusts it never saw: as of SAWE-2.17, a mean absolute error of 6.4 mph and a frequency bias of 0.95 at 40 mph. The derivation, weights, and scores are on the wind methodology page.
Report or history — which page do you need?
This page is the historical peak wind gust report by address — the per-date document you keep. To understand past wind at an address first — the highest gust, how a gust differs from sustained wind, ZIP code vs. address — start with the free wind history guide.
Wind report questions
What counts as a "qualifying" wind day?
A date when the estimated peak gust at the address reached 40 mph or more. The report also lists dates when estimated hail reached 0.50 in. or larger. NWS warnings and Local Storm Reports appear in the free Address Lookup even on days when the gust estimate is lower.
Is the estimate a measurement at my address?
No. URMA is the NWS gridded wind analysis (2.5 km) and HRRR is a 3 km weather model. The Est. Peak Wind is a modeled value at the property coordinates, corrected by nearby measurements. ASOS/AWOS readings are point measurements at each station's location, and both are labeled so you can tell them apart.
Why does a date sometimes show no gust value?
A date can qualify on hail alone. When the estimated gust at the property stayed below 40 mph that day, the wind column shows a dash rather than a reading from a distant station.
Is the wind report free?
The Free Report Snapshot (YES/NO for an estimated gust of 45 mph or more) and the Address Lookup are free with an account. The Weather Report is $2.99 for one address with no account, or included with Pro ($4.99/mo, 5 a day), Pro+ ($9.99/mo, 25 a day) and Organization ($29.99/mo, unlimited). Pro+ also adds statewide hail and wind maps.
How far back does the data go?
At-address gust estimates cover every storm date from October 1, 2021 through yesterday — more than 5 years. NOAA Storm Events wind records for every state and 578 cities go back to 2010 on the storm data pages.
