This is the php NOAA Weather library I used. This is where I got the Heat Index calculations from: click link. I use this PHP pushover client: click here

Find your NWS StationID by going to this site and entering your City, State in the field on the left hand side. You'll also find your Latitude and Longitude on the page that is displayed. Enter the StationID and Latitude and Longitude in the variables at the top of fc.php. You'll also need to get your pushover user token and app/group token from pushover.net in order to use the pushover script, along with downloading the pushover library file.

The main weather forecast file can be piped to a text file like this:

php fc.php > ./weather.txt
