Any Currently Working Weather Apps?

[Tony Baechler]

Yes, I realize this is a very, very late reply, but it might be useful 
anyway and is generic for any platform. I think both the NWS and Weather 
Underground have changed their interfaces in the last year, probably 
breaking most weather apps. It doesn't matter though as you can get plain 
text output of the weekly forecast. The problem is either you have to search 
for your zip or city and state or you have to know your latitude and adjust 
accordingly. Once you find your forecast, search for the plain text link. 
Bookmark that link or copy it somewhere. It's then just a matter of making a 
script to pull that plain text link and display it. Here is my local weather 
forecast as plain text:

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=32.8561&lon=-116.997&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=1

As you can see, go to forecast.weather.gov. You could put "curl" in front of 
the above link and have it display the latest weather forecast on demand. 
The output is fairly short, but you could pipe it through less or save to a 
file.
