Yahoo and MSN both had nice pda type weather that fit nicely on the RK3 with no horizontal scrolling. They've both changed and don't seem to offer anything decent for free.

What have you guys been using?

Text based Nat'l Weather Svc is OK but some little bitty graphics would be nice without a 700 pixel wide screen would be nice...

That is the exact same one I ended up with when I was programming 3 weeks ago.

I was pissed when I found that my Yahoo Weather was gone.

We were using the pda version of accuweather.com that was great until they added flash a while back in the banners and it kept locking up the K4 units. Maybe when flash is added we'll use it again.

Good thing about Southern California is that it is sunny pretty much every day of the year. I have not done any weather status pages yet, but I am in the middel of a job with a bunch of RK3 and 4's.
When good enough is not good enough.

Just make up your own page with a big sunshine graphic and text below, "Sunny and warm today".

That should cover it for you.

The smog forecast may have to be dynamic, though. :^)

Anyone have any thoughts on how to have the page auto-scroll down on page-load? When using this weather page, if I hit the scroll down button 3 times it bypasses the ads at the top. I can't figure any way to activate a macro automatically when the page loads (and even if I could, you can't put objects in a macro). Any http scrolling options out there?
