Description
I know there's a request open for multiple stations, but this is somewhat different.
If the site you're using this on is for people across the US, then each user is going to want their local forecast, so ti would be great if it could be configured to pull weather based on the location of the user.
Thanks,
tc

Need some more clarification. Is the request for detection of the clients location and then displaying local weather? Or each registered user when logged in may select their own local weather station to be displayed when they are logged in?

Yea, that would be great. Maybe if first scenario, have a link to wunderground site to help each user obtain the correct location. I think maintaining the 'open source weather station' list could be difficult maybe. Not unless there was a built-in simple method of updating the list provided by the latest and greatest list of locations with some kind of file that can be easily managed by a web admin, or the web admin could click a button to "update list" on occassion to clean out old and add new or changed stations. This button would simply be an external call to the wunderground data in some form.
