It would be a neat feature if you could parse the downloaded zone data and create an image that showed the 5 day forecast… using the icons associated for the weather in that data already in WD…
I think Hamweather does this…
Here is what my current zone report looks like…
MORNING…THEN SHOWERS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
AFTERNOON. COOL…WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S.
.TONIGHT…MOSTLY CLOUDY. CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. LOWS IN THE
UPPER 30S TO MID 40S. CHANCE OF RAIN 40 PERCENT.
.WEDNESDAY…PARTLY CLOUDY. HIGHS IN THE 50S.
.WEDNESDAY NIGHT…MOSTLY CLOUDY. LOWS IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S.
I imagine you could parse by the ‘.’ and create an icon that showed the correct icon, ‘mostly cloudy’ for example, and perhaps the temps forecasted…
It looks like these are written in a standard notation, so it shouldn’t be too hard to parse… (easy for me to say!!)
Just another thing for my wishlist, along with the selectable METAR usage for Summary data/icon creation…
Thanks everyone!
