Issue Summary
Hello all,
I am trying to get this installed this morning but I am not having much luck. I live near Knoxville Tn which has a NWS call sign of KMRX. I know the url for the XML data stream from the NWS. It's only updated once a hour which is fine with us. But when I go to use the user interface it does not give me enough room to enter the pull path to the URL where the data is displayed and when I just use KMRX it says weather not available. Any thoughts?
One other comment about others asking to be able to display different weather station than the default station.
This might be accomplished by: When the user registers to create an account have a cck box that asks for their zip code, then ping the NWS or wunderground by that zip code and have it display that data to them.
Just a thought anyway.
http://www.470arg.com/cms is my test site .
Thanks, Moe

Moe,
The wunderground module only supports retrieving weather information for the weather underground API.
KMRX does not seem to be a valid station id on a weather underground.
http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=36.03230&lon=-83.88525&zoom=1...
To the right of the map it lists stations and their ids, if you enter one of the id numbers in to the wunderground modules station setting field it should work as intended. I have not added the ability to use weather from airports (station id being airport identifier) yet, but that is a quick feature to implement.
If you really do not want a personal weather stations (or MADIS station) post the URL of the of the feed containing the weather information for KMRX and I will take a look at it and see what I can do to help you get it displayed on your site.

OK this is the data I would like to see... http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KTYS/2009/8/2/DailyHistory.html which is the Wunderground data plots. The XML feed for the same information is http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KTYS.xml
Thanks, Moe

I've added support for displaying airport weather station information from Weather Underground, the airport weather information is from a different API endpoint than the personal weather stations with a couple slight differences in the XML format. There will be an issue if viewing the weather details page as the flash from Weather Underground does not support weather from airports, so I recommend not enabling the "Details Link" box in the modules settings.
It should be work with your desired station (KTYS). Please install the latest development snapshot to test it.
