Default AWOS/ASOS question...

I have the AWOS phone number of a couple of local airports programmed into my phone. This morning, while attempting to decide if I should go try to squeeze in a few landings before work, I called one of them and heard something I have never heard before. After the standard winds, visibility, ceiling, etc...information it said: "Remarks: Northeast, East 10, East, Southwest 10." I assume this was telling me about cells that were in the area at the time. However, I wasnt aware that AWOS/ASOS had radar capability. A quick search of the NOAA website didnt help, as the airport in question isnt even listed in the AWOS/ASOS list for the state.

What am I missing here?
