In the wake of news regarding the NOAA’s new XML feeds, I’ve updated my Quicksilver plugin. It now uses XML, instead of the clunky, but adorable, METAR format. Since the data is SO easy to parse (thanks, Cocoa!), I was able to quickly add support for all of the data. Currently, I have Quicksilver commands to display the following:

• Weather – provides a summary of current conditions, including Last Updated time
• Temperature
• Dew Point
• Humidity
• Winds
• Visibility

There’s plenty more data, but I’m not sure of how much interest it would be. Easy to add, though. Up next: forecasts via SOAP!

Updated: Note that the new XML data is only for the US. So, I’m going to re-enable the METAR data and include a “Revert to METAR” option.
