I am not a pilot and saw this chart for current flight
rules. What does MVFR stand for? Thanks.

Marginal Visual Flight Rules - weather that is not bad enough to require
pilots to use cockpit instruments, but worse than fair weather VFR
conditions. Ferzample, a high cloud base with light rain or haze that
limits visibilty to some extent, but not so much as to preclude a pilot
finding his/her way by the ol' Mk.I eyeball.
