My console model 6313 shows conditions from a source other than my Vantage Vue station model 6357. For example, right now on my console conditions screen, at the bottom below the temp and wind, it says "Overcast". It would be cool if the Weatherlink API (which allows web programmers to get info from a console) would include a property for that weather word. There is no way for a programmer to know that it is cloudy near my station, using just station data like temp and humidity.

I guess I am just whining and I will need to find some other web service that tells me the current weather. (NOAA does this.) But if my console knows it's cloudy, I wish the API response would include that.
