The approximately-equal sign before the temperatures is an indicator that the Zone forecast was used because the point-printable forecast wasn't available at the time.  The Zone forecasts don't have NWS-specified icons, so the icons are interpreted from the text of the Zone forecast by the advforecast2.php script.  Just part of the service :)
