Requirements

At UPS, we want a weather site where the user enters a zip code and gets the current weather in that area. This is going to be displayed on monitors in our locations throughout the US during business hours so it's important that the information updates automatically (without needing to refresh the page) as the weather and temperature change. Also, we want it to be beautiful and eye catching, and for the background to be related to the current weather. We also want the current time, date, and city (based on zip code) displayed.
