[AWIPS #FVZ-856935]: Missing pressure on METAR station plot outside US

> Hi, when looking at METAR station plot outside of the US (in Europe or

Hello,

Unfortunately, we are plotting all data that we are receiving from the metars, 
so if pressure data are missing, we don't have that information available to 
plot.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
 
Thanks,
