Why not just grab the current page by using curl or wget or similar tools
to your home directory?
The mobile version of underground has all the weather/forcast info on one
page. This makes it ideal for one of the grab tools.
Here is a nearby location to me, near the bottom is a text entry field
where one can put a zip code or location by name. That will get the exact
url for your location for grabbing.
http://mobile.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?brand=mobile&query=oakland,%20pa
A simple shell script would do it.

There are several relevant hits here:

If you still need assistance to write some code to do that, then you can try
hiring someone to do that. I am available for hire, and you can probably find
others.
