Weather Elements

Yahoo Weather appears easiest to parse. Example URL: https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text%3D%22austin%2C%20tx%22)&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys

The first iteration of this app will include only basic elements:

• title ("Yahoo! Weather - Austin, TX, US")
• condition
  • text ("Partly Cloudy")
  • code https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/documentation.html
  • temp ("98")

  • chill ("99")
  • direction ("180")
  • speed ("22")
