I thought it would be fun to create a mash-up with Yahoo maps and CWOP weather stations.  You can see the results at
http://www.ruysfamily.com/HighlandsRanchWeather/WeatherMapper/Default.aspx

I found a station list with all of the CWOP stations and their lat/lon coordinates, so I should have all of the stations as of yesterday.  If you click on a station icon on the map it will show you its current weather info if it has reported in the last 24 hours.  Tell me what you think :grin:

WeatherBeacon:

That's really great! Nice work!

My only suggestion: the zoom in/out seems inverted to me. Don't most maps place + above and - below? Just wondering.

Great job!

Thanks Kevin :grin:  The zoom is just part of the Yahoo Maps API, so I don't have too much control over that.  I will have to look to see if there is a way change it, Google maps has it the way you explained, which does make more sense.

Very nice indeed. I like that the barometer is in inches of mecury. I will have to save this to my favorites.

Cool!   8-)

I switched to the satellite view and they now have an updated photo to what I remember.  Someday my neighbor about 150' across the street will stumble on one of these maps and wonder why there is a weather station logo on his roof.   :mrgreen:
