In most places I don't think it really matters THAT much. Winds are also given 10's of degrees (such as 180 or 190) instead of actual degress (such as 183 or 187). So are a few degrees going to matter? Not to mention the winds change a little more often than the reports.

In the lower 48, what is the maximum difference, 18 degrees?
