I was wondering if there was mod in existence that could update the News to display the current weather where a server is located. Special events like thunderstorms or high winds could be displayed warning members that a server outage could occur.
You mean like a weather widget?

Yeah, but something a little more sophisticated. I'd like to be able to determine when there are bad conditions and post a news banner. Maybe activate the news fader, set the background color to red or something to catch attention and display a message that severe weather is in the area and the server may be affected.
I tried the weather widget, and it appears to be a <script>. Is there a way to intercept that code and parse it?
