Just out of curiosity - is there a specific reason for plotting 
windspeed/wind gust together with pressure?  Windspeed is a factor of 
pressure difference between two points rather than the varying pressure at 
a single point, and the pressure difference is often a result of 
temperature differentials.  Not sure I can see what benefit can be obtained 
from plotting windspeed against a single varying pressure without also 
having the other contributing pressure points simultaneously plotted.

Maybe I am just being my usual obnoxious pedantic self, and spouting drivel 
...... but then again .... maybe not .....
