In the northern hemisphere winds usually back and decrease in strength with descending altitude.

So if you've got 270/20 at 5000' and 260/15 at 2000', at ground level it's likely to be in the order of 250 or even 240 /10 unless your airfield has some really weird local features.

Cue:onslaught of differing views.

Safe flying and remember if you ask for an opinion on an internet forum you'll usually get ten differing opinions.
