There is a Window Maker (X11 Window Manager) dockapp called WmWeather
that pulls down the right weather stuff for you if you know the code
and breaks the stuff out (it's in perl). It also tells you where to
start to get your code. I don't have it handy but you
could start from:-

www.windowmaker.org and look at the dockaps there will be a pointer
to it one or two links away from there.
