If you have a look at :

Steel series gauge

There's discussion which is some years old, but might still be relevant.

Hi Father Ted @Father-Ted (http://www.localweather.net.nz/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=4399)

I don't know if you've got anywhere yet . . .
But I found this in     https://cumuluswiki.org/a/SteelSeries_Gauges (https://cumuluswiki.org/a/SteelSeries_Gauges)

About 4 page downs under Forecast Messages is :
Weather Display users have different options for the forecast message to be used. By default the ccrlocal file uses the Davis VP %vpforecasttext% tag. Change this to what suits you best:

 %vpforecasttext%          Davis VP forecast
 %forecasticonword%        Words for the (Davis?) forecast icon
 %dailywarning/forecast%   forecast from input daily weather

You'ld need to make changes in the template as I'm sure you know.

Hope that helps some way
