decoding file with multiple character types.

1
I am new to PHP, but I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction for decoding a file. Below is the file copied and pasted. I want only the Cell ID, probability of hail, probability of severe hail, and max hail size expected for each of the storm cells. I wasn't sure how to go about this since it looks to have some binary in it.

Any help is appreciated, and I hope I can learn a lot!
