Wind Shear on TAF

I am told that this TAF from last week indicates that, from 0000Z, there will be wind shear occurring at 2,000 with the wind forecast to be 160 at 50 knots. Presuming this is correct, is this 2,000 MSL or 2,000 AGL (I know it wouldn't matter at Kennedy). Also, I'm curious how they forecast wind shear that is expected to occur 17 hours out--and at 2,000? Thanks.
