Ceiling: UL = Unlimited (clear), HI = >2.0 canopy height, MID = >1.25 to < 2.0 canopy height, LO = <1.25 canopy height, U = Unknown.

Cloud Cover: 0 = 0%, 1 = 33%, 2 = 66%, 3 = 100%.

Vertical Visibility: N = Impaired (detections may be missed due to conditions), Y = Unimpaired (conditions allow for reliable detection), U = Unknown.

Horizontal Visibility: N = Impaired (detections may be missed due to conditions), Y = Unimpaired (conditions allow for reliable detection), U = Unknown.

Audibility: N = Impaired (detections may be missed due to conditions), Y = Unimpaired (conditions allow for reliable detection).

Precipitation - Rain & Fog: N = None, L = Light, M = Moderate, H = Heavy. Other: H = Hail, S = Snow. (Indicate intensity using same codes for rain & fog).

Wind: 0 = <1 mph (calm), 1 = 1-3 mph (leaves barely move), 2 = 4-7 mph (leaves rustle, sm. twigs move), 3 = 8-12 mph (leaves & sm. twigs in constant

motion), 4 = 13-18 mph (sm. branches move), 5 = 19-24 mph (lg. branches & sm. trees start to sway), 6 = 25-31 mph (lg. branches in constant motion), 7 = 32-38

mph (whole trees move), 8 = 39-46 mph (twigs & sm. branches break).

Noise: N = None, A = Aircraft, B = Bird song/calls, C = Creek/water drainage, M = Machinery, P = Rain/hail, T = Tree drip, V = Vehicle, W = Wind,

O = Other (explain in Notes).
