I have not tried to integrate this, but there is an API at WU for a 3-day and 10-day forecast:

Reinhard, I tried but embedded forecasts only default to the closest airport or large city. I finally decided to just use a link to the forecast extrapolated for my weather station. I have not tried their API.

Blick, that is exactly what I have done - linked to the forecast to my weather station.  :)

Thanks Alan for pointing me to the API!  [tup]

Reinhard, if you give the API a try, and get it working, please report back here.

So I dived a bit around in the www and found the following:

Seems to me the API is only useful for developers of Apps.  :-[

That was the conclusion I came to as well. It's a big API and it's just a wee bit too complicated for a simple do-it-yourself job. Thanks for sharing.
