Present Weather symbols
Plots of station data may include one of the following symbols to represent the
present weather. METARs may include more than one type of weather condition
but only one icon ever gets plotted. Two additional documents show the original
descriptions abridged from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and
which symbol is plotted for each present weather text string.
These are not necessarily official but they represent our best matching of
weather conditions to the original WMO table of icons.
Original WMO table and abridged descriptions of symbols:

Text string for present weather found in METARs mapped to icons and
plotting priority order:
