If you pass a METAR string to the system, it changes the weather globally (i.e. everywhere you fly from there, the weather will look the same, until you pass a new string, then it will change everywhere). If you use the 'local weather' menu items to generate weather, this is not the case - you can fly to the edge of cloud layers, you can see rain from the outside and so on. Different philosophy, different technology, different aims. See http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/A_local_weather_system for details or http://www.phy.duke.edu/~trenk/files/README.local_weather.html for the documentation.
