Lightspeed,
There has been a Weather Plugin that I have always used and it has been available for many years!
It's called the Weather Alert v.5.uhp and it is 16 KB in size.
I can ask it to check the current temperature or conditions, wind speed, etc., or what I like best is that sometimes it will alert me on its own if it determines that the current conditions might pose a hazard like: "It's currently 10 degrees outside. It is extremely cold so be careful." or something to that effect.
The user will need to supply their particular local airport or airfield Code for the Plugin to know which location to report.
They will need to go to:
https://w1.weather.gov/ Near the top left, enter their City and State then they will see a location with a 4-letter CODE.
In your case use the Kirksville Regional Airport (KIRK) code.
There are 7 locations inside of the Plugin to supply that 4-letter code (replace it with the ones that are shown in the Plugin).
This is a typical line that will need to have the existing CODE replaced: objXMLDoc.load("
http://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KAOH.xml")
(Those 4 letters are for Lima, Ohio).
The Line Numbers are:
82
130
233
265
332
358
384
Be sure to SAVE the Plugin after you have made the substitutions for your location.
PS - Use any text editor and look inside of the Weather plugin to see the different phrases it has that the user might say or ask for.
