I have created a RSS/XML Feed for my weather web site. You can use the RSS feed to download weather information that I publish thru a RSS/XML Reader like SharpReader.  

What is RSS?
RSS has several meanings: Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, and RDF Site Summary where RDF in turn stands for Resource Data Framework. In any case it is a method of summarizing the latest news and information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read by any of a number of news readers or news aggregators. The idea is to give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest news and updates from a site in a headline or news digest format. This in turn helps during high-traffic periods by reducing the load on the servers.

What do I need to use the RSS feeds?
To use our RSS feeds, you need a feed reader or news aggregator installed on your computer. These are applications that can be set to read the feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so.

Once you have installed a feed reader or news aggregator, you simply add the Tracy Weather Center feed address to the list of feeds in the reader. The installation instructions for the readers will help you with that. If your newsreader or aggregator uses "auto-discovery" then simply enter our main  web address (http://www.TracyMNWeather.com/Weather/TracyWeather.xml) and it will find the feed.
