This is cool! I created something like this that works from a static page, so it does not have daily API limits. I also like news with my weather, so that one integrated too: https://www.locserendipity.com/Start.html

Thank you for sharing those! It took more effort to make this than it looks, including finding latitude/longitude coordinates for every US zip code, finding the api url for each one (it is not built into the weather.gov api), and progr
