    Hi all- I'm having a mind cramp and suddenly forgot how to "translate" the first line of the TAF-

    KPHX 050330Z 050424

    Can somebody please break down the time/date (050330Z & 050424Z) into which number belongs to what? I know it's for the time span the TAF is accurate (well, at least somewhat accurate) for, but need a refresher on the time/date format of those numbers.

    Thanks.

        I've got a few copies of a TAF/METAR decoder if you're interested.

        I apprecate your question as well. Wish there were more like them!
