Hi Linda,

Weather balloons come in all sorts of sizes and colors so there's no telling
or giving a set pattern or "type" here. Also, some balloons, depending on
their altitude and material they're made of, expand to up to three times
their "normal" size. One must also count for the fact that wind directions
change and vary at different altitiudes. At 500 feet the wind might be
blowing south, but at 600 it might be going North!

Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Kal Korff
