How would a '*' at the end of a LLWAS display be read?

Explanation:
The symbol shows wind shear location relative to the LLWAS sensor network. A star at the end of the readout indicates wind shear that is outside the LLWAS network's coverage. It signals that wind shear may be present beyond the network’s sensors, so it’s considered possible rather than confirmed within the network. That’s why the best interpretation is “possible wind shear outside the network.” It’s not reading as definite wind shear outside the network, nor as wind shear inside the network, and it’s not stating that no wind shear is detected.
