Hi Gary, Thanks so much for your response! I'll admit, I'm very lost.
I have done some minor customization to templates and have some basic Python knowledge, but I'm not understanding the steps in your very detailed message (thanks again!) Perhaps harnessing the loop packets is the way to go, since I'd love to display the data in a "rapid-fire" manner, similar to Wunderground's very frequent updates. How do I go about accessing those and spitting it into JSON format? A.J.
