This is but a piece of the ICAO airport identifier protocol. I believe that weather reporting is required (among other things) to conform to ICAO. The K means it conforms and thus has the weather reporting.
I reserve the right to be wrong though...

HMMMM, so there is weather broadcast from KB18? therefore it gets the "K" designation?
