[gentoo-user] weather howto on kde4

[James]

Hello,

Ok, so it is hurricane season here in Florida.
So, I'm looking for a kde4 centric weather tool
that show radar, forecasts and such. Full screen
would be keen.

Looking in portage, I installed wmweather+ and kde's 
customizable-weather to evaluate. Any howto's
on customizable-weather, if they exist, are alluding
me.

Any and all suggests are welcome.

  This may be a bit old-school, but howsabout the NHC home webpage at
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ or the more detailed page at
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml

  There's a list of RSS feeds at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutrss.shtml
The RSS feed you probably want is http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index-at.xml
which covers the Atlantic.

I like the point forecasts myself. I've got point forecasts for my
apartment, my employer and two lakefront state parks in my bookmarks.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?w0=t&w1=td&w2=wc&w3=sfcwind&w3u=0&w4=sky&w5=pop&w6=rh&w7=thunder&w8=rain&w9=snow&w10=fzg&w11=sleet&w12=wvhd&w13=wvp&pqpfhr=6&psnwhr=6&AheadHour=0&Submit=Submit&FcstType=graphical&textField1=43.05628&textField2=-86.24783&site=all&unit=0&dd=0&bw=0&marine=1

And you can tweak that to have it give you, e.g. CSV, though the
specific means escape me at the moment.
