Default Weather report from the airport

I'm using this Globe-S RTL1090 edition 'Radar' scope, and down at the bottom of the screen,
I see my weather report data from Boston (Logan airport).
I changed the default METAR from Hamburg Germany's EDDH to KBOS.

So, now I'm wondering how to read the weather from this line of data.?.

KBOS 042054Z 00000KT 10SM FEW040 SCT130 BKN250 01/M09 A3037 RMK AO2 SLP282 T00111089 58011


Then I found this page. A METAR Translator at
METAR Translator

Here's the Logan weather report!!

METAR KBOS 4th @ 2054Z, wind calm, visibility 10 statute miles, Sky: few clouds at 4000, scattered at 13000, broken at 25000, temperature 1, dewpoint -9, altimeter 30.37 inches, remarks: automated report w/precipitation discriminator, sea level pressure 1028.2 Mb, temp 1.1 dewpoint -8.9, 3-hour pressure tendancy: steady or increasing then decreasing OR decreasing then decreasing more rapidly 1.1 Mb

I wonder if the NSA can crack this code too?
