WeatherCal adds weather forecasts to iCal
You can add different cities, each of which gets its own iCal calendar and you get forecasts up to 4 days in advance. And since iCal events obviously sync to the iPhone, you can take the forecast with you.
WeatherCal is $10 from Bare Bones Software; a demo version is available for download.

Thanks Philster and Byran. I ended up discontinuing the Mobile Me syncing (not singing) and manually sync my iCal. I would like an update to allow subscription syncing someday!

March 18 2009 at 10:44 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyseems a like a shameless plug for a feature you can obviously do on your own (thanks Tony). Wish I hadn't wasted my time reading this article and gone right to the comments.

Thanks again for pointing out the link. I think saving $10 will be worth the effort of a single copy-paste.
Ten bucks? For this? Please.

Tony's solution above works perfectly for me, but this looks as if it'll be a little prettier... ; )
not 100% sure, i'll have to check, but i think using the weather option in gmail calendar will sync it via caldev to ical.

1. Go to Weather Underground: http://www.weatherunderground.com/
2. Enter your zip code or whatever to get your local weather.
3. Right-click on the ical badge (do not click the badge...), then select Copy Link.
4. In iCal, go to Calendar-->Subscribe, then paste the link.
5. Click the Subscribe button in iCal.
Works great, and syncs with iPhone.
