Thanks for the info, nick. I was hoping there was a drop-down list on a web form somewhere that meteorologists use when entering weather, but I suppose that would be TOO easy. Your explanation makes a lot more sense, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear.
Incidentely, here's a sneak peak at what I'm working on for anyone that's interested. Each 75x75 pixel block is a separate plugin skin and provider file, most of which are pulling data from the Weather.com XML feed. The thinking is that the end user can decide which info (s)he wants to see and not waste resources on the other stuff. Up next: hourly forecasts for the next 12 hours and daily forecasts for the next 10 days.
