Metar in the US

Hi anyone:

I am sure that any US based pilot can give me an answer.

I noticed that in some METAR or TAF reports, a group of letters such as RRR, RRB, or RRD, ect., just aftert the time group.

I couldn't find their definitions anywhere.

Thanks

RRx (where x=A-X) indicates a delayed forecast.

Thanks everyone.

I saw that on some NOAA site, but couldn't find it anymore.
