Just came across this code in a TAF that I havent seen before.

KVNY 281135Z 2812/0112 VRB04KT P6SM SKC
FM282000 16008KT P6SM SKC
FM010300 VRB03KT P6SM SKC LTD TO VIS AND WIND TIL 281300

Seems to indicate Limited to Visibility and Wind until 28th @ 1300...right? And what exactly does that mean?
 
means that for whatever reason they will only publish viz and wind data.

maybe the system they are going to use will only push those two items. May not include cloud height. who knows.

7.2.3.3 Automated Observing Sites Requiring Part-Time Augmentation

TAFs for AWOS-III sites which have part-time augmentation are prepared using the procedures for part-time manual observation sites detailed in the previous section, with one exception. This exception is the remark used when the automated system is unattended. Specifically, the time an augmented automated system is scheduled to go into unattended operation and/or the time augmentation resumes is included in a remark unique to automated observing sites: AMD LTD TO CLD VIS AND WIND (AFT aaZ, or TIL bbZ, or aaZ-bbZ), where aaZ is the time of the last augmented observation and bbZ is the time the second complete observation is expected to be received. This remark, which does not preclude amendments for other forecast elements, is appended to the last scheduled TAF issued prior to the last augmented observation. It will also be appended to all subsequent amendments until augmentation resumes.
