Try Weather Underground: Their graph is the most impressive, useful visualization of weather data around, IME. For example:

https://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast...

Note you can click the controls at the top right of the graph and add/remove elements. The graph is a bit heavy, but that may be necessary to generate the visualization.

Weather Underground also has a lightweight telnet service. Telnet to rainmaker.wunderground.com and enjoy the super fast ascii text interface.

What I didn't realize was that weather underground is now owned by the weather channel :(

Technically it's owned by The Weather Company which in turn is owned by IBM. The TV channel is now a separate entity. I still find their forecasts to be more reliable and the user weather station data is great
