I have especially noticed this recently as there have been days in which
Coyote has been reporting around 20 and I go to third and it basically
stinks. I also remember a little while back Mike Godsey having a
backcast to explain why Coyote seemed to report wind and he basically
said: "I looked at all my charts and I'm convinced, there was no wind at
Coyote." Having seen the wind that day I concurred. It's making me
really cautious to use Coyote as the barometer for the wind. I'm
usually ending up using Coyote, Third and SFO from good old Ken P.
