Hey guys i just landed in Denver and for some reason the crosswinds were at 65 kts haha could it be a bug with the weather, Im not bothered as the flight was only 20 mins long but just wanted to see what it could’ve been?

Just looked at the KDEN atis IRL, it’s showing 190 @ 6kts
I also checked the metars for surrounding airports on ForeFlight and they agree for the most part with that wind I mentioned above. Looks like it may have been an issue with the measuring equipment for Denver at the time.

But for tornados to form, you likely need strong wind gradients.

Well, either a strong thunderstorm, a brief weak tornado, or a bug large enough to affect FR24 and IF’s weather provider 
I find nothing in the metar history either:

It’s not super rare that we get extremely buggy METAR’s sometimes.
And yes, it’s very likely that FR24 are using the same API as we are (among with many, many others)
