    Somewhere in the vicinity where they have an anemometer installed.

    FWIW, I recently looked into weather issues and I found that the two major weather info providers TWC (serves mlb.com) and AccuWeather (SBR weather source) not only disagree on their forecasts, which is undersatndable, but that they also disagree in their records of the weather in the past providing different temperature and wind speed and directions for the same locations.

        I personally chose TWC. Not because they are better, as I have no way of knowing, but just for the data consistency sake as their data is mlb.com official data which goes to official boxscores.
