METAR and speed>99KT in US
Hello,

In the International METAR codes from the WMO World Meteorological Organization, (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WM...ction/Sel2.pdf).
it is written that winds greater than 99 knots are reported as P99KT in a METAR.

But it seems that, in the United States, it is possible to report wind speeds with 3 digits in the METAR.

Is it true? In US, how would be reported a wind from north at 150 knots: 000P99KT or 000150KT?

Thanks to all,

Pat’
