My homepage is the 10-day forecast from wunderground, already
meantioned, but probably too graphical for the OP. The hourly
forecast there is the least graphical, but I don't know whether
a screen reader would be able to make sense of it.

But I came across openweathermap.org too, and found:

  https://openweathermap.org/current?collection=current_forecast

which looks as though it can return JSON or XML formatted data
that a script could massage into readable text. In the sidebar
it says it can yield a couple of days of hourly forecasts, and
even eight days of daily forecasts.

It costs money, but is free for students and for the "testing tier".
I guess one could use the latter to see how much data one API call
can provide, or how many API calls it takes to download enough data
to be useful for your purpose. Subscribers can get 1000 API calls
per day for free on one particular tier. Pricing, and what it gets
you, is at:

David.
