 Hello,

 Ok, so it is hurricane season here in Florida.
 So, I'm looking for a kde4 centric weather tool
 that show radar, forecasts and such. Full screen
 would be keen.

  This may be a bit old-school, but howsabout the NHC home webpage at
 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ or the more detailed page at
 http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml

  There's a list of RSS feeds at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutrss.shtml
 The RSS feed you probably want is http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index-at.xml
 which covers the Atlantic.

I like the point forecasts myself. I've got point forecasts for my
apartment, my employer and two lakefront state parks in my bookmarks.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?w0=tw1=tdw2=wcw3=sfcwindw3u=0w4=skyw5=popw6=rhw7=thunderw8=rainw9=snoww10=fzgw11=sleetw12=wvhdw13=wvppqpfhr=6psnwhr=6AheadHour=0Submit=SubmitFcstType=graphicaltextField1=43.05628textField2=-86.24783site=allunit=0dd=0bw=0marine=1

And you can tweak that to have it give you, e.g. CSV, though the
specific means escape me at the moment.
