Any Currently Working Weather Apps?

[Janina Sajka]

Always nice to have more options for weather. Thanks, Tony!

A comment on the wx script ...

I have found the script works just fine. However, the service isn't
fully reliable. What I mean is that there are days I get only current
conditions, and days on which I get a full week's outlook. Just now, for
instance, the output for my zip code is a complete week's forecast.

The inconsistancy is not global in my experience either. By this I mean
that it may work as expected for one location, but not for another
location. Early this month I traveled to Seattle on business.
Consequently, for a few days ahead of my trip I was interested in
weather both at home and in Seattle. In one case I get a full report.
The same command run with the other zip yielded just current conditions.
