Well, now rjciii.
The whole world uses FROM to indicate wind direction. If you have a pilot
licence, you should know that. But, I suppose that Dr. Jack, who holds a
Doctorate in Meteorology, does't know it and therefore showed his winds TO the
direction they are going. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

I have worked for more years than I care to remember in the aerospace
industry. Many programs I was involved with had wind direction
reversed in some part of the system during early stages of
development. It's about as common as getting synchro orientation
wrong, and getting mag var and drift angles reversed.

Pilots may know wind comes "from" but lots of others have to be
reminded of that fact.
