Default TAF Decode problem in PANC

Hey all,

I am new to flying in the US.

I notice on this mornings TAF for PANC a comment at the end

WS020/15035KT

I cannot find a decode for it in the AERAD.

I assume its a reference to windshear but PANC had light winds as we passed overhead so I dont know what it means.

Can anybody help?

n9373m,

thanks a bunch.

I kinda figured it was something like that.

Never seen it on a TAF before but there have been cases where it should be have been handy
