Fokker-Jock gave an excellent decode, with one little exception:

SLP200 is a sea-level pressure of 1020.0 hPa.

If the sea-level pressure were 20 hPa greater than the altimeter setting, it would have to be rather chilly at an airport with an elevation of 81 ft.

The FMH is useful for decoding US reports.
