Kind of weatherCond tag is Marker. Explanation says - Used with a Str enum point to enumerate conditions with one of the defined string values like "unknown", "clear", "cloudy", etc.
In this case I think weatherCond tag should be of kind "Str" rather than "Marker".
This would then become similar to other status tags like curStatus having Str kind.
Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks

Two separate concepts:
tags added to the point to model what the point measures/controls
the point's "value" which would show up in a hisRead or as curVal tag
The weatherCond tag is a marker to indicate what the point models.
The enumerated values are what you would expect to see in curVal or as the values of a history read.
Another example is that temp is a marker tag. But the curVal of the point would expected to be a Number in degF or degC
