Resurrect NWS CLI project
a project by seanmarlow
Updated about 4 years ago. No love. 8 followers.

Project Description

Many years back I created a simple python based CLI package that wrapped the NWS API to get weather forecasts, discussions and current conditions. Meanwhile I have not had time to keep it up-to-date so many pieces are broken or using deprecated features of the REST API. The package is useful to get weather information much quicker from CLI than clicking through the NWS website.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this project is update and fix the package as well as add new features. Also, the documentation can be updated to be more thorough and useful.

      @Monkey Mart Updating and improving the wxcast package would undoubtedly make it more reliable and user-friendly. I'm looking forward to seeing the new features and enhanced documentation. Thank you for your efforts to keep this important tool up to date!
