Means heavy or light precip.

[Fly_Unity]

Means heavy or light precip.

Yup

 

[N519AT]

Heavy or light. A precip designator without + or - means it's medium intensity, I believe.

 

[dc3flyer]

+ = Heavy
- = Light
SHRA = Rain Showers (or showers of rain)

I think that is covered in a wonderful book called Aviation Weather.
