weather bug again!!

Fully customizable for "balloon-help" forecast, pick your pieces of info 
from the options configure screen. Can set days to view. Even add 
multiple profiles and have them auto rotate. Track home and work for 
commuter, home and vacation home for the fortunate...

Once upon a time there was a for which nearly quadrupled the radar 
image, thought that was pretty cool, but not sure if it's still updated.
