Would be nice to change the weather provider to https://openweathermap.org/ instead of the US Gov Weather as it covers weather world wide and has a lot of APIs to help developers.

It is also used in many open sourced weather apps.

60 requests per minute will probably be okay, but it looks like they only offer 3-hourly forecasts over 5 days in the free tier (versus 1-hourly over 10 days from weather.gov), and have a license with an attribution clause for what would ideally be public-domain data :/

I'll poke around more with it once we've gotten the behavior/UI a little firmer! (And/or do you want to look into how it could work?)
