Here is my guest for what they will find...

They will find a open eye to the northwest...With max winds near the northeastern quad of around 60 to 65 knots flight level. Or around 50-55 knots/60-65 mph surface. I also expect the pressure to be around 995 millibars...

Lets see if I'm right or wrong.

The first column on the left in that group is Zulu time. Then next two columns are the coordinates where the obs where taken.

Then I believe the next 2 six-digit columns are where the flight level winds are. The first 3 digits are wind direction and the last three digits are the wind speed. The first six-digit column are 10 sec average winds, the second one are 30 sec average winds.

The last 3 -digit columns on the right are the surface winds report and surface pressure reports, respectively ("999" means no report)

That's all I can remember.

If I remember right that is the line for winds? So 70 degreees at 31 knots...

2741 08025

And these lines are the latitude/longitude? EDIT, possible thats degrees/minutes, which is different than decimal coordinates. i.e. 24 degrees 41 minutes.

i.e. 27,41'N 80,25'W.

134500 2736 08005 9014 +0442 061031 +132 +101 061034 023 005

1345 UTC? 27,36'N 80.05W 34 knot winds from 061?

135900 2734 07907 5077 +0184 091033 +192 +154 089034 999 999


1359 UTC 27,34'N 79,07'W 34 knot winds from 089?

The latitude/longitude columns are definitely in degrees/minutes.

I was thinking the fourth column is altitude, but if so they just decended from 9000 meters to 4800 meters in three minutes. That's a tad extreme. :-)
