 | Re: how do you read this METAR? Corrected report. Automated weather observing station with precipitation discriminator. Pressure falling rapidly.

 | Re: how do you read this METAR? It means that the automated reporting system is not reporting what is actually occuring so COR means that a human observer is making sure that the reported weather is and was corrected. PRESFR= Pressure at the Surface Falling Rapidly. Farva |
