And I was having such a nice morning

It usually takes a lot to bother me, but sometimes it can be just a fewletters, such as those found in the CYOW TAF:

TAF CYOW 221138Z 2212/2312 29012KT P6SM FEW020 BKN080 TEMPO 2212/2215 BKN020
FM221500 30012G22KT P6SM SCT030
BECMG 2220/2222 29008KT FEW050
FM230600 VRB03KT P6SM BKN060
FM230900 VRB03KT P6SM -SHRASN BKN020 OVC050
RMK NXT FCST BY 221500Z=

Specifically,it’s the letters that appear in the precipitation element for the weather forecast starting at 0900Z tomorrow morning: -SHRASN.

There probably won’t be any significant accumulation, but it’s still unnecessary.
