Weather.gov U.S. Current Weather Conditions 1.0

WGOVCWC(SID) queries the XML Feeds of Current Weather Conditions asprovided by NOAA's National Weather Service (http://www.weather.gov), andreturns a struct containing current weather conditions for the areaspecified by the corresponding four char SID(s) (Station ID(s)).Data is available only for a limited number (about 1,800) of locationsacross the United States and U.S. Territories. To determine the four charStation ID(s) of the relevant location(s) and for more information, visithttp://www.weather.gov/data/current_obs/.The input argument SID can be a single Station ID, or a char or cellarray of Station IDs.Data is acquired in XML format, after which it is converted into a structusing the xml_parse function. This function is available in the XMLToolbox by Marc Molinari on the MATLAB Central File Exchange (File ID4278).EXAMPLES:Example 1: Using a single SID.wgovcwc('KNYC') returns a 1x1 struct containing fields (among others):location: 'New York City, Central Park, NY'observation_time: 'Last Updated on Mar 13, 5:51 pm EST'weather: 'Fair with Haze'temp_f: 57relative_humidity: 78Example 2: Using a char array of three SIDS.wgovcwc(['KNYC';'KJFK';'KHPN']) returns a 3x1 struct.Example 3: Using a cell array of three SIDs.wgovcwc({'KNYC';'KJFK';'KHPN'}) returns a 3x1 struct.[Please subscribe to this file if you use it, so you can be notified of updates.]
