RATOW on the WDR is based on what?

RATOW on the WDR is about the wind observed at the time of the weather report. The wind direction and speed shown there are the primary factors that drive takeoff performance—headwind or crosswind components, which directly affect required runway usage and performance calculations. Temperature, aircraft weight, and runway length are important for other aspects of planning, but RATOW specifically reflects the current wind conditions, not those other parameters.
