Definitely. In fact, you always see TV weathermen completely describe the wind vector.

"Winds are from the North at 27."

There's the vector . . . magnitude = 27, direction is from north to south.

You'll never hear a radio or TV weatherman say "Winds are 20 miles an hour."

and leave it at that.

At least not the same weatherman for a second time.
