I customized the string file the yesterday and wondered the function of the line:
"exceptional=Exceptional Weather"

Is "Exceptional Weather" one of the forecast?

It's used as a prefix when the forecast goes off the scale (eg, "Exceptional Weather, Stormy, much precipitation"); usually this happens when the pressure is outside the configured range.

Thanks for the answer. I do remember now a discussion in another post about "Stormy, much precipitation"

Changing the string file is another really nice feature in Cumulus.
