Don't use the PIL notation for international products.  This is a US only
notation.  So the LDM won't save them.

# Surface METAR obs
WMO     ^S[AP].... .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
        FILE
noaaport/data/sao/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2_sao.wmo
# TAF forecasts
WMO     ^FT.... .... ([0-3][0-9])([0-2][0-9])
        FILE
noaaport/text/taf/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1/(\1:yyyy)(\1:mm)\1_\2_taf.wmo
