Tom, Thanks for the reply.
Since the Acurite Atlas does not generate wind gust information I am assuming that the information showing up in the seasons report is software generated. I did run the weewxd... and it seems like all LOOP data and no REC data. with in the loop data I am not seeing any windGust referenced ( I did : weewxd | grep -i "wind" and weewxd and weewxd | grep -i "REC" weewxd | grep -i "REC" returned no records at all weewxd | grep -i "wind" returned: LOOP: 2026-07-15 16:55:33 EDT (1784148933) altimeter: 30.050631488573067, appTemp: None, barometer: None,
