The original Weather Prognosticator worked well for several years, but the downside to relying on an external API is that it can get changed out from under you. Or removed entirely.
Last Fall, Weather Underground turned off the API that the Prognosticator had been using. I’d be tempted to ask for my money back, except that it was a free API. Oh, well.
Fortunately, other solutions exist, and OpenWeather’s API is still more or less what is needed. Their hourly data requires a subscription, but three-hour temperature forecasts are still free (within reason.) This means that, instead of displaying hourly temperature forecasts, data is available in three-hour increments — but is available several days out. So instead of displaying hourly data for the next ten hours, the display now shows three-hour temperatures for the next thirty.
The updated code is available here; you will need a free OpenWeatherMap API to be able to use the API.
Enjoy — and stay safe out there!
