SkyCharts normally use the NWS metars, but if you have an internet connected AWOS that’s not part of the NWS collection, please let me know and I can try adding the data.
A list of the SuperAWOS data is here.

FAA updates for the 1202 chart release
BIG CHANGES IN ALASKA EFFECTIVE ON THE FEBRUARY 9, 2012 CHARTING CYCLE
In November and December we put this message in the Chart Agent e-News Letter as an extra message and reminder of the major chart changes that impact Alaska due to the movement of the Anchorage VOR. Please help us get the word out to aviators on the chart changes… Safety first!
Effective on 2-9-2012, the Anchorage (ANC) VOR/DME will be shut down. The Anchorage (TED) VOR/DME will be in use. The VOR was relocated roughly 5 miles onto the Anchorage International Airport property. Therefore, it is vital to have all of the new charts in the Anchorage region to ensure the most current fix locations, procedures, and frequencies are used. This includes TPP, IFR Hi’s and Low’s, and Sectionals.
Please note: the Supplement Alaska will also have all new Anchorage VFR flow patterns effective for the February 9th edition. Be sure to check it out and help us spread the word!
Cycle 1201 released
Now with more data: The descriptions for the VFR,IFR and TPP (or IAP) charts are now also included.
All of these are really big though. The app will try to load them if you haven’t cached them, make sure you have a fast internet. An upcoming app update will check for these large files (like for the NOTAM).
Future chart releases can be found here.
Enjoy.
