// Interpretation

MVFR — ceiling 2,500 ft. Strong winds at 170°/27 kt, gusting 37, visibility 3.1 SM, a few at 1,600 ft, scattered at 2,200 ft, and broken at 2,500 ft. Reported weather: -RA BR. Would drop to IFR below 1,000 ft ceiling or 3 SM visibility, or rise back to VFR above 3,000 ft and 5 SM.
