I have added some links here for “Local Current Weather”. These are locally maintained weather stations mostly at schools and linked on a website called WeatherBug. One other source of local conditions is from the Weather Underground (www.wunderground.com ) just type in your zip code in the area near the top to find local weather stations maintained by private individuals.
