For those unfamiliar with the code, it decodes as follows (been a while since I looked at METAR decoding, somebody let me know if I'm off on anything): Fort Bragg / Fayettville NC, 00:24Z on the 1st. Wind from 330 degrees at 24 knots (28 mph) gusting to 95 knots (109 mph). Visibility 5 statute miles in a Thunderstorm. [Cloud data, etc] Remarks: Frequent Lightning In Cloud, Cloud to Cloud, Cloud to Ground. Cumulonimbus overhead moving SE. Shelf cloud overhead moving SE, moderate Cumulus all quadrants. Here are additional obs from around that time. Notice another claim of 82 knots suggesting that the 95 was not an instrument malfunction.
