    WearherXML is great for now....however there are quite a few free forecast sites that are moving away from providing the information for free.

      I also use WeatherXML. It's included with HS3/4 Pro. It supports several data sources but as The Profit says, most free sources eventually go away (being purchased by another company, they start charging, etc). NOAA is the only source that has been and should be staying free. It's a good source except it doesn't offer hourly forecasts which is a bummer. There is a new free source (OpenWeatherMap) that does allow hourly forecasts and WeatherXML is supposedly supporting it but I can't set it as a source nor can I access the hourly forecast.

        The only issue with openweathermap for Canada is that it doesn’t support weather alerts.... At least I haven’t seen any.

            Luckily we don't have to deal with weather alerts. Just earthquakes but nobody has added advanced warnings for that yet...

                  Seems like all the virtual devices are created under " weatherXML Location 1 Group " and I have to call those . Lets see if that works
