What is the significance of the numbers at the end this KMEM METAR?

KMEM 300554Z 24010KT 10SM TS FEW027 SCT055CB SCT080 OVC250 24/21 A2990 RMK AO2 PK WND 20035/0500 RAE24 SLP122 CONS LTGICCG SE-SW TS SE-SW MOV SE P0010 60207 T02390206 10306 20206 403280206 50004
 
6xxxx is the 3 and 6 hour precipitation amount
1xxxx is the 6 hour max temp
2xxxx is the 6 hour min temp
4xxxxxxxx is the 24 hour max and min temp
5xxxx has something to do with pressure, I have no idea how to read it
 
5xxxx is first 0 is pressure increasing then decreasing and 004 is 00.4 hectopascals in relation to sea level pressure change over last 3 hours
