No, it's missing several. :( I need the full set, if possible.

You're welcome.

BTW, some of the additional XL icons are created by Tyler, Al, and me.

One thing that puzzles me is on weather.com, whenever my area's forecasted for "Thundershowers", why do we see the "Showers" icon?

I've noticed on the IntelliStar they made a modification to show the Thunderstorm icon instead of the rain shower icon when forecasting Thundershowers. Now if they can do the same thing on weather.com, all the better.

Just today, I saw for the first time the "Windy" icon used on weather.com's current conditions section as "Squalls and Windy". The following picture is derived from a TWC weather magnet on my weather website.
