I like this one better from local XDA Developer and others. Check out link;

And it is free. Cool, Animated weather icons like the Diamond

gives you tons of information. Not to difficult to install and use.

Edit: Of course Donations are welcomed by the developer.

it isn't using much memory for me. Sure some but not much. When I was using continuous looping icons it sure did use a lot of mem plus huge drain on battery, but with single loop - not much mem use. Also I have it set up in Ultimate launch on it's own page and the plugin is disabled when not in use, so not much mem use then. I have not had any problems yet, and I have been keeping an eye on the memory consumption.

I'm quite fond of SBSH's Pocket Weather. Very nifty program with an awesome today plugin.

+1 for Pocket Weather.
I like to be able to glance down and see the current conditions, the forecast and radar any time I want without hitting buttons and waiting for it to load or paying a monthly fee.

PhoneAlarm has a weather feature and it's an awesome phone / profile management program. It's not free, but it's great.

Yean not bad. Only $35 EVERY year to use it and they are on average 10 degrees off on thier forcasts for my area. I use weatherbug. Its free and accurate. You can have the current temp displayed on the top bar if you want so you arent having to take up Today Screen space.
