Turning the air on, did it engage the A/C? (surely did if the wind was on windshield)

 It is possible that your tensioner is not applying sufficient pressure and is allowing slipping. Have you had the belt off to inspect it and the tensioner? If the belt is dry or worn out it may be slipping.

Does the AC compressor make any noises, growling when it is engaged? A bad hub assembly makes a rattling, whinning or growling noise. The hub assembly can be changed and the clutch can be changed without depressurizing your system
