It is nice and easy:

<cftry><cfhttp url="http://www.nws.noaa.gov/data/current_obs/KHUM.xml";
port="80" method="get" timeout="15">
</cfhttp><cfcatch type="Any"><cfdump var="#CFCATCH#"></cfcatch></cftry>

<cfset xmlContent = XMLParse(Trim(cfhttp.FileContent))>
<cfoutput>KHUM<br>
Current Weather: #xmlContent.current_observation.weather.XmlText#<br>
Temperature: #xmlContent.current_observation.temp_f.XmlText#&deg; F<br>
Wind: out of the #xmlContent.current_observation.wind_dir.XmlText# at
#xmlContent.current_observation.wind_mph.XmlText# mph<br>
</cfoutput>

For what it's worth I did the "Current Conditions" screen scraping about
four years ago and it still works:

http://www.depressedpress.com/depressedpress/Content/Development/ColdFus
ion/
Extensions/FreeData_NWS/Index.cfm

It's nice that they've not changed that page.  ;^)  I've not had a
chance to
bang away at the XML yet.
