Heh, test your METAR and TAF decoding skills. :) Let's just say we've been having a fairly good lightning/thunderstorm show for the past few hours.

Er, could I get you to LJ-CUT that, please? Preformatted/fixed width text that wide is mucking up my f'list formatting something fierce. c.c

[wxkat.livejournal.com]

Done. Also changed the formatting to make it easier to read (word wrap is earlier).

Thanks! Now if only I'd had any practice at reading METARs in the last fifteen years. o.o;
