Does the weather fetching code address pressure, temperature and visibility? Right now it just appears to be updating clouds and winds.

That's what is used and set right now (but only at startup): pressure, temperature, dewpoint, visibility, cloud elevation and coverage, wind speed, wind direction, and range, gust speed.

The interface provides some more information. You can even have friction
coefficients for particular runways, or "2cm snow; medium braking action".  :-)

Cloud layer thickness isn't provided in Metar messages, but Erik deduced
that from the coverage. (scattered clouds: thin layer, overcast: thick layer)

Right now KBOS has reduced visibility (2.5 miles), but it's not showing up in FG. Also the temp and pressure and dewpoint is not showing up in FG either. /environment/metar/ is getting populated correctly, but this doesn't seem to be getting carried over to the main /environment structures?
