Latest observation posted was:
METAR KTTS 311855Z 12009G15KT 060V170 10SM FEW025 FEW085 29/23 A3006 RMK SLP179 1CU /0/ 1AC /1/ N1209/15 C1011/16 S0911/15

which has changed direction a little bit (the last three "fields" show observations from the ends of the runway and midfield)...

The SMG forecast for RTLS weather was 12010P17.
