Custom post type menu-icon not showing up

Question

I have a custom post type called forecasts. Here's the code:

<?php
// Register forecasts cpt
function forecasts() {
    $labels = array(
        'name'                  => _x( 'Forecasts', 'Post Type General Name', 'reedbc' ),
        'singular_name'         => _x( 'Forecast', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'reedbc' ),
        'menu_name'             => __( 'Forecasts', 'reedbc' ),
        'name_admin_bar'        => __( 'Forecasts', 'reedbc' ),
        'archives'              => __( 'Item Archives', 'reedbc' ),

        'search_items'          => __( 'Search Item', 'reedbc' ),
        'not_found'             => __( 'Not found', 'reedbc' ),
        'not_found_in_trash'    => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'reedbc' ),
        'featured_image'        => __( 'Featured Image', 'reedbc' ),

        'items_list'            => __( 'Items list', 'reedbc' ),
        'items_list_navigation' => __( 'Items list navigation', 'reedbc' ),
        'filter_items_list'     => __( 'Filter items list', 'reedbc' ),
    );
    $args = array(
        'label'                 => __( 'Forecasts', 'reedbc' ),
        'description'           => __( 'A custom post type for forecasts.', 'reedbc' ),
        'labels'                => $labels,
        'supports'              => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt' ),
        'taxonomies'            => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
        'hierarchical'          => false,
        'public'                => true,
        'show_ui'               => true,
        'show_in_menu'          => true,
        'menu_position'         => 5,
        'show_in_admin_bar'     => true,
        'show_in_nav_menus'     => true,
        'can_export'            => true,
        'has_archive'           => false,
        'exclude_from_search'   => false,
        'publicly_queryable'    => true,
        'capability_type'       => 'page',
        'menu-icon'             => 'dashicons-cloud',
        'show_in_rest'          => true,
    );
    register_post_type( 'forecasts', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'forecasts', 0 );

I've tried adding the following menu icon, like so 'menu-icon' => 'dashicons-cloud'.

WP Admin still shows the default pin icon. I've tried clearing my permalinks, but this doesn't work.

Any ideas?

You have a typo. It is supposed to be menu_icon not menu-icon.
