Topic: Comprehensive weather for large screen

I have a large screen chumby (8").  I'd like to find a nice, comprehensive weather summary.  Ideally, the current temp and conditions would be large.  But, without touching for a second screen, I'd like to see a 3-5 day forcast, as well as a radar image (either static or moving).

I've searched through both these forums, as well as the list of available widgets, and haven't found exactly what I want.

Any suggestions?

Find a jpg image on a weather website with the information you need, and use urlimage, imageurl or load image from url to display it.

Re: Comprehensive weather for large screen

I am using on my Chumby 8 the "AccuWeather.com Forecast" and "World Weather Online" widgets. They look very fine on this large screen but they have only forecasts for 1-2 days. The later also have a separate screen with forecasts for wind speeds and directions. These widgets automatically will change thru their different screens, so you do not need to touch anything.

For a static radar screen I am using imageurl with an url (to a jpeg image) that is pointing to an Estonian very large weather radar (I live in southern Finland, opposite site to Estonia of Gulf of Finland).
