Prescriptive method values should be available in applicable Building Code; Residential (or) General Construction. Numerous proprietary software available to give detailed wind loads (psf) for economical price.

It depends on temperature, air density, vapor pressure, etc. But in general for a 77 degree F day it works out to about 45 to 46 ponds per square inch.

Hope this helps,

Applicable building code should have values for prescriptive methods.
