Hey folks,
A few months back there were a few of us that were working with the Weaather Underground telnet access to see if it could be made into a simple Telgate door. I came across this today and was rather impressed. Not that I think it could be easily made into a door (its Linux only and way too wide), but it falls into that category of "cool stuff, maybe I should share it."

That's really cool. Someone should write a Synchronet module to grab and display this data to users. I'd use it.

Synchronet added Baja/PCMS support with v2.00a (1994).

I had never heard of the "Go Environment"
until now.
Many years ago, I created a ZOC script that performs a telnet to Weather Underground to pickup the current conditions and 5-day forecast for my local area.
Using a few text processing programs I wrote with a friend, added formatting and WWIV color codes to the captured text. I then wrote a
mod for WWIV to display the data when logging in to my BBS.
I might test this setup, as I like the text graphics and coloring.
Even longer ago, there used to be a text based radar that could be captured with a ZOC script. I took them, appended them together, added some high ANSI characters with appropriate coloring to match the numbers (which were used to show precip intensity), and basically created a
"ANSI animated radar for the local area".
Those were the days..

I use weather-util. It spews weather data to the terminal as well..
Here's it in action:

I would love it if i could just punch in krrl or Merrill, WI, and get my weather data via a synch board.nsi

art)com

Mine isn't a door, but its super easy to setup. I have a Timed Event run a batch file every couple hours and dump its output into a text file. Then I have Bullseye Bulletins configured to read that drop file. Here's the details:
LVWeather.bat
-------------
@echo off
del lvweathr.msg
wget ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/discussion/las_vegas.txt
ren las_vegas.txt lvweathr.msg
bullseye.cfg
------------
0
/doors/bulletins/lvweathr.msg
Timed Event Config
------------------
Start-up Directory: c:\doors\bulletins
Command Line: lvweathr.bat
Execution Frequency: 24 times a day
Use Shell to Exec: Yes
You can use an FTP client like Filezilla to browse the tgftp.nws.noaa.gov site and find the file that corresponds to your targeted area.
Good luck
I've been using a makeshift weather screen in my login sequence and have had the code on gist for a while. It's not pretty and I don't include the icons since I didn't make them. But, it works OK. :) May be a good starting point for someone who knows what they're doing. :)
