John, did you mean the forecast from VWS or the forecast from the NWS?
VWS has a forecast tag already in imagesalsa that generates the "Sunny", "Partly Cloudy", etc...
The NWS script was something that I worked on for a couple of weeks but I'm sure it still needs lots of help. Basically, you need VWS to pull the NWS forecast (in text format). Then the script munges on that file and generates a series of variables containing the parsed data. Finally, your script modifies an existing canvas (both text and graphics items) to produce the forecast panel you are looking to achieve.
The parser is the part that will need the most time. I found that the Sacramento NWS office would product predictable forecasts for awhile and then one day it would be different and I'd have to add more code to my parser. I think it jsut depends on when folks in the NWS office take their vacation and someone fills in for them. Gives you a strong appreciation for the big sites that have developed parsers for the entire country.
