I like the Weather underground...
http://www.weatherunderground.com/
Put your ZIP in the field at the top or click on the map. It even supports
world sites but not in as much detail.
You can use the following link by changing the zip code to match yours
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=32223
After you find your US site , there is a link down towards the bottom of the
page titled 'Forecast Weather Graph (NGM MOS)'
This gives temperature, wind and dewpoint graphs for about a 48 hour period.
