BECMG 0910 QNH2750INS TEMPO 0913 +FC TEMPO 1315 +FC T34/20Z T24/11Z

Anyone know what the QNH2750INS is? Cant find it in the AIM or online in decoded TAFS.

Also, never seen the +FC before. ADDS decodes it as follows:

Text: TEMPO 0915 +FC
Forecast period: 0900 to 1500 UTC 29 August 2005
Forecast type: TEMPORARY: The following changes expected for less than half the time period
Weather: no significant weather forecast for this period

No sig weather forecast for this period? Why include this in the TAF?

Baro Pressure 27.50
+FC means tornados
 
By the way how bad would the turb likely be if flying throught Katrina's eyewall like the hurricane hunters do? Mod, Sev, Ext? I'm wondering if it is like a jetcore where the winds are 150kts but smooth as glass or if there are large gusts to cause bad turb?

There was a time when it was a rule that they actually had to spell out the word Tornado when it applied to avoid confusion... I missed it when they dropped that rule I guess.
