WX is the telegraph abbreviation for weather. It was also used for the same purpose in Morse code. Its use still continues as written 'shorthand' especially within the weather fraternity, among the aviation and maritime communities and by Amateur Radio operators. The NOAA Weather Radio channels are numbered WX01 through WX10.
It is also the IATA airline designator code for CityJet.
