SMP 4.9.6 with ASXP Stormy but shows partly cloudy

[pegruder]

So, Im running SMP with RWC and ASXP.  For the most part they do an excellent job.  However, sometimes I run in to issues where its stormy, yet in sim is partly cloudy, typically with rain.  I have ASXP set to SMP and RWC for external engine.  Do I have something configured wrong?  Im assuming because its reports broken clouds?

That metar does not indicate storms, just light rain with at most "broken" clouds.

Sometimes you need to force ASXP and SMP to sync with each other; there's a debug menu in ASXP that lets you immediately publish new data, and SMP has a "force weather reload" menu option you can use. Especially if you have "never change visible weather" enabled in RWC, they can get out of sync in some situations. Also make sure you have ASXP properly configured for use with SMP; this is described in the RWC manual.

I may have made this post too soon.  I think looking as the ASXP 'conditons' image that makes it look overcast and rain and not actually at the metar.  I even went outside and it seemed to match pretty well.  Even the XP weather 'image' that gives you the non technical idea of what the weather is going to be actually listed it as stormy which also threw me off.  So yea this was a me error and not SMP/AS/RWC ect lol.
