weather program

I think people have mentioned such a beast but I have a shell script
here that invokes lynx and retrieves weather info from
braille.wunderground.com.  It takes a city or zip code as a single
parm to retrieve the information appropriate to the area you request.
It works pretty good and is fun to pipe through software dectalk or
flite too.:)

BTW, Thanks to Raul Gallegos for having posted this to the list before.
- ----- Begin script -----
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -lt "1" -o "$#" -gt "2" ] ;then
	echo "Usage: wxw zip or wxw cityname."
	echo "Example: wxw 66212 or wxw Overland Park"
	exit 1
fi

if [ "$#" -eq "1" ] ;then
	QUERY="$1"
	else
	QUERY="$1+$2"
fi

lynx -dump -nostatus "http://braille.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=$QUERY"
- ----- End script -----
