For my home automation suite I created a page scraping utility to get weather data (temperature, humidity, UV, pollen, astronomical data, etc), movie release information (both theatrical and home releases), news (a wide selection of different news feeds), weather radar (images hard-coded to my location) and TV series information to let me know when my favorite shows are back on and have new episodes. These feeds are designed to feed various displays in the home, but are mainly keyed to my touchscreen interface.

No need to scrape for weather, NOAA has an excellent feed for any lat/long. See http://blog.abodit.com/2010/07/weather-forecasting-for-home-automation/
