HR = Forecast hour, i.e. how many hours from the model run time.
X/N = daytime maximum/nightime minimum surface temperatures.
TMP = surface temperature valid at that hour.
DPT = surface dewpoint valid at that hour.
CLD = forecast categories of total sky cover valid at that hour.
WDR = forecasts of the 10-meter wind direction at the hour, given in tens of degrees.
WSP = forecasts of the 10-meter wind speed at the hour, given in knots.
P06 = 06-hr probability of precipitation (PoP) ending at that time.
P12 = 12-hr PoP ending at that time.
T06 = 06-hr probability of thunderstorms/conditional probability of severe thunderstorms during the 6-hr period.
T12 = 12-hr probability of thunderstorms/conditional probability of severe thunderstorms during the 12-hr period.
POZ = conditional probability of freezing pcp occurring.
POS = conditional probability of snow occurring.
TYP = conditional precipitation type.
CIG = ceiling height categorical forecasts.
VIS = visibility categorical forecasts.
OBV = obstruction to vision categorical forecasts.
