To get your weather station ID go to the wunderground link provided, search for your city or town to see current local weather. Scroll down to "FORECAST" it will say 10 forecast for weather station XXXXXX. That is the weather station ID number you are loo

No location code that I can find at site provided. Spell out where the code is (step by step). Making a user go on a hunt...not good. Uninstalled.

Works well but data hog
Works good, but had to remove widget as it constantly uses data slowing my phone down. Graphs appear very small on my droid x.
