GOES-16 300mb Derived Winds

With more clouds and convection over the area, the GOES-16 300mb Derived Winds are a little more reasonable today than they were yesterday.  In this case, the derived winds are colored in green/yellow/red based on speed (would prefer to have them grouped as a specific level so it is easier to compare levels) and the 300mb RAP data is in white.

Unfortunately, when looking at 850mb data, the values vary a little more.  In the diurnal CU area over the southern CONUS, the values are very variable.  But looking up in northern ND/MN, the values seem to match up fairly well with the RAP data.
