  - Missing values are denoted by: XX  
 
  - Precipitation probabilities are given as percent values indicating  
    the chance of 0.01 inches or more precipitation at the station  
    site for the 6- or 12-hour period ending at the specified time. 
 
  - Thunderstorm probability is the percent probability (0% - 100%)  
    of encountering a thunderstorm within the 6- or 12-hour period for  
    the 2.5km (1.5mi) sized grid box that includes the given site. 
 
  * QPF = Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (liquid water equivalent 
    total of all precipitation types over given period).  Snow forecasts 
    provide 6-hour snowfall total in inches.
