wet	transition level
braking action	recent snowshower
work in progress	okta
cloud scattered	Centigrade
temperature	millibars (mb)
dew point	hectopascal (hPa)
no sig (no significant change)	inches
on initial contact	trend
surface wind	warning
gusts	altimeter
noise abatement procedure	RVR (runway visual range)
