Airport Forecasts Screensaver
The Airport Forecasts screensaver shows terminal aerodrome forecasts for major world airports, gathered key-less by the pipeline. A TAF is what the weather is expected to do; the site's METAR saver shows what it is doing now. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Airport Forecasts screensaver works
The background pipeline reads this from the NOAA Aviation Weather Center and saves a snapshot the saver loads.
