This is a simple single page weather app I made that grabs data from NOAA for where I live.

If you view the html source you can see it's pretty easy to configure it for wherever you live in the U.S. You just have to edit the links.

Personally, I like using this more than any of the weather apps out there because it's fast and has the data I want and need, and no ads.

It uses the latest version of Bootstrap and jQuery.

I loved your app; it is indeed very simple to use. I would have liked to see the location name and current weather right on the home page of the app. Do you have a Github where I could download the code and deploy it on my own servers?

Great job overall!

Thank you!

All the Javascript code is in that html page source. The Bootstrap and jQuery you can grab from their sites. I'm using their latest version for this.

All I did was go copy urls from the NOAA site and fetch just the images and data I wanted from them. Their web site is huge so you kind of have to poke around a bit but they have a lot of data you can get there.

I do have a very old version I played with years ago that I think did pinpoint your location on the Radar map. I'll try to find it and take another look at how I did that and if I can I'll add it to this app.

It would be great if you could make it an interactive webapp, in the sense that anyone could put in their location, and then your code would fetch all the corresponding images and data from the NOAA site.
