Got it figured out. All I do is run my script every 15 minutes as Weather
Underground updates their forecast that often. Then all i did was comment
out the zambretti stuff in gauge-data.txt.tmpl and substituted one line
with reads the text file generated by the script:
#set $fc = file('/var/tmp/fctdata').read()
That was easier than I made it out to be I guess. Just posting this in
here if anyone is interested in doing the same thing.
