But wait, this is the magical world of WordPress and if you can dream of it, someone has probably written a great plugin for it. Luckily the same holds true for the weather.

You can find an extremely cool local weather plugin for WordPress here. The plugin is very impressive, and I have to say the admin page and fine level of customization possible make it one the most elegant plugins I’ve ever seen.

You can see it live on Chattanooga is Home, I’ve left it as a by request feature for the bloggers, as I don’t see it being a good fit for all the sites; it is 72 degrees and sunny every day in L.A. after all.
