Quick Q's regarding american TAF/METAR

eg TAF PGSN 142325z 150024 07016KT P6SM VCSH SCT028


What does the P mean in the 6 Statue Miles Visibility. Cant find it in Jepps!

P = Plus/Positive 6SM?

Thanks.... essentially what i said was correct. Greater than 6 SM. ALthough Jepps as far as I can see, says that it should be indicated with a plus ie 10+ .?
