I got fed up with other weather sites, because they showed significant deviation from what my local airport was reporting (for example, Weather.com regularly displayed humidity values which were 8 or 10 full points off! ). So, I decided to use the "real deal" weather site: The National Weather Service (NWS) site.

Attached is a provider file for NWS. Things like INI files don't deserve to be called "betas", probably, but in essence that's what this is--I don't consider it 100% completed (especially where weather conditions are concerned, which NWS seems to use sparingly). One thing I tried to do was to include lots of extra information, such as "Today's Forecast", "Updated", etcetera.

This provider file works for me, but then again, I have a very simple Weather Monitor plugin configuration. Obviously, skin INI files will also need to be edited.

Feedback and/or corrections are welcome. (I hope I didn't do an awful job on this, as it is my first time.) One thing I am quite sure will need more work is weather conditions. I looked at a slew of localities on the NWS site, but 90% of they had "Fair" displayed for their weather conditions, and any that differed have been included.

[You may want to download the latest INI file by scrolling down... Rather than downloading the one immediately below.]
