NWS4Cast v0.41 Released
I’ve updated NWS4Cast to version 0.41 over the weekend. It’s primarily a maintenance release to correct issues with “Visibility” not showing due to a change in the XML data feed.
If you’re not familiar with NWS4Cast (formerly ‘NOAA/NWS XML->PHP Weather Script’, of all things), it’s a PHP script I’ve created to display the current conditions from the National Weather Service on a website, as you can see running over to the right above the credits. The script pulls in the XML feed for the local area, parses it out (CURL required), and displays it in an aesthetically-pleasing format. If you’re so inclined, it’s entirely skinnable, as you’ll see inside the weather.php file.
The next version (0.5) will include the new features seen in the example to the right. It should be out in a week or two after some template tweaks and code cleanup.
