title: How to Get Current Weather via Web Services
body: <p>I am attempting to get the current weather given a zip code or a set of latitude/longitude coordinates. It appears that best practice to do this (and how NOAA does it) is to get the XML feed for a weather station.</p>
  
  <p>Example:
      <a href="http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KEDW.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KEDW.xml</a></p>
  
  <p>The only problem is that NOAA doesn't provide a good way to find the closest weather station given a zip code or coordinates and I did not see any hosted web services out there that will provide this mapping.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any web services to get the nearest weather station given a zip code or coordinate input? If not, does anyone have any great solutions to look into that provide similar information as NOAA does but takes in a zip code or coordinates?</p>
