Thanks! METARs [1] are standardized weather reports that pilots use to evaluate current conditions. They're often reported from stations located at airports, and include (among other things) wind direction, cloud bases, temperature/dewpoint, current altimeter setting, etc. They look like this in raw text form:

KMDS 150935Z AUTO 30009KT 10SM CLR M02/M06 A3007 RMK AO2

This app parses METARs into a visual representation, and displays it in a widget on your home screen. Useful for keeping tabs on current conditions!
