Description:
------------
It seems that when a METAR contains a fractional visibility (e.g. "2 1/2SM") the script is only parsing the "1/2SM" and putting the "2" in "noparse". This is an example string that it has trouble with:
KGYY 262350Z 02010G20KT 2 1/2SM -TSRA BR BKN006 OVC010 21/20 A2983

Output:
...
[noparse] => 2
[visQualifier] => AT
[visibility] => 0.5
...

Test script:
---------------
I don't have a good test script for this.

Expected result:
----------------
[visibility] => 2.5
