Unusual Metar code
I saw this METAR the other day but none of us could decode it even with the AERAD supplement. Any ideas?!
"RMK TCU OHD MOV SW P/R RI++"
Remark: Towering Cumulus overhead, moving southwest, but then what?!
Airport was Okinawa while a typhoon was in the vicinity.

GEN 1.7 of the Japanese AIP states 'Local routine and special reports are issued in a format similar to that of METAR and SPECI.' Unfortunately, the code of this similar format doesn't seem to be published in the very same AIP.
A Google search for "RI++" metar yields this site, which tells me MCDU2 is spot on.
