Simply Weather

Chris - Moderator — Sat, 06 May 2006 01:31:21 GMT

Unsatisfied with any of the other weather plug-ins for MCE, this app is an attempt to display the most relevant information on one screen. It displays the current conditions, a five day forecast and an animated radar image. The weather data comes from the free weather.com XML feed and the radar images are pulled from whatever url the user specifies.
