I think the program is just meant to give us a quick overview of the weather
conditions. But perhaps another key combination could be added to get the
kind of details you want. If I want more detail than what the script gives,
I use my Wetsock program. The thing I get a chuckle at, both from the
script and the Wunderground site itself, is when it says something like
"winds north at 0 mph". <lol>

Subject: Re: Weather or Not
One addition I could use is a forecast complete
read for a selected city. Quick reads are
wonderful, but forecasts I have to go to the "braille" wundergound site, as
in,
Forecast as of 10:28 am CST on January 19, 2009
Now
Northwest winds of 15 to 30 mph with peak gusts
approaching 35 mph...will once again cause areas
of blowing and drifting snow across much of west
and central North Dakota through the morning and
early afternoon hours today. This will result in
very icy roadway conditions with air temperatures
near the freezing point...along with some
roadways becoming snow covered. Numerous reports
of rollovers and cars in ditches were received
over the past couple of days with similar breezy
weather conditions...thus the same is expected
for this morning and into the afternoon. Those
traveling or planning travel today are encouraged
to exercise extreme caution. Slow down and allow
extra time to reach your destination.

Thanks guys, just a thought.
