Jeff,
Here's what I use to plot the flight rules in different colors using sfmap
(e.g.
http://twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu/imagel.php?dispimg=surface/plots/mw&imgname=Midwest)
Notice that I use the XVFR to recolor the sky marker depending upon the flight
rule which I think is 0-3 (0 is VFR and 3 is LIFR)
SFPARM =
skyk:0.75:1:131:0.35;tmpf:.65:1;wsym:0.65:1;smsl:.35:1;vsbf:.25:1;dwpf:.65:1;stid:0.35:0.35;XVFR>-1
COLORS = (0;1;2;3/31;7;2;24;31/xvfr);2;31;30;(0;3/24;3;0/vsbf/U);24;18;0
Hope this helps…
