The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time. The letters show the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass). The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing.
Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more. Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak and lull. This gives you a better idea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time.
