Import Current Condition from nearby NWS station

Post by KF0KFL-13 »

I don't believe there would be a way for CMX to generate an accurate Current Conditions (like a Zambretti forecast but for current weather instead)

I would love to see an option to identify your nearest NWS station and pull the weather observed (or other data) periodically and write it to the currentconditions.txt file. Attached is an example of what I'm looking at:
https://forecast.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/K21D.xml

I realize this may be specific to the United States, but I wonder if other countries could use a similar set up?

I've been trying to learn to use Python and BeautifulSoup to accomplish this, but haven't figured it out yet. I think it would make a cool add on to CMX
