two-thirds stem height point and above the cloud-top height point
for the prediction being prepared. If wind vectors between the two-
thirds stem height point and the cloud-top height point fall outside
the radial lines drawn from ground zero through these points, expand
the angle formed by these two radial lines to include these outside
wind vectors.

in Step 3), from the worksheet (Figure 3-3, item j). Compute the
effective wind speed as shown below and record on line 1 of the
