Yes, I have a window manager hotkey to pop up the hourly weather image for my location in mpv, I recommend this as a good way to get a quick look at the weather today or tomorrow. I also have a shell alias to use kitten icat to display it in the terminal, although I use the mpv hotkey more. I also have a text weather alias in the terminal that just calls curl on the file that matches my location under:
https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/zone/ https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/zone/
I just looked through my state to find the right file but it looks like the "More Local Wx" link from the 7 day forcast page has the right name for the file (ORZ006 in my case).
I also have a few icat aliases to show radar; one for current, one for sequential, and one looping from this page (radar name same as on radar.weather.gov):
https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/ https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/
However, I find the one hour accumulation view to be best and I couldn't find a way to get images for that view so I usually look at radar.weather.gov if it works (it has been working better lately but sometimes just doesn't work for me).
I haven't ended up looking at them often but I also made some icat aliases for 6-10 day and monthly temperature and precipitation outlook from:
