// Interpretation

MVFR — visibility 3.7 SM. Light winds at 250°/5 kt, visibility 3.7 SM, a few at 1,000 ft, a few at 2,500 ft, scattered at 3,000 ft, and broken at 10,000 ft. Reported weather: VCRA. 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.
