I spoke to Tom about it just to make sure, and looked through src/objects.c prior to that.  Near as I can tell we don't generate any such weather objects in Xastir.

The last heard date on that object is 2012-01-21.  THe header claims it came from AA9VI-13.

So...  Perhaps packets are getting munged somewhere and combined with others?  That's about the best guess I can make for how that object appeared.  Unless someone else is running a program or script to generate them.
