Looking at a section of Hi Res NAM data over Connecticut this morning, there is an obvious difference in the data obtained from Squid vs. NOAA.  Same hour of the same run from both.

While the wind velocity is consistent across the geography, the wind angle is clocked about 16 degrees in the Squid data vs. the NOAA data.  At least as displayed in Expedition.

Really now, what's 16 degrees between friends? Not much, unless they are sailing upwind against each other!

So somewhere in the labyrinth of software somewhere between France, the USA and New Zealand a bit has been flipped that needs to be unflipped.

Unless I've flipped out.

But study the attached picture and see what I mean. Look closely at any one place on both screens. It helps to look at the wind orientation next to a prominent letter such as the "B" in Boston.  You will see the difference in wind direction.
