wunderground.com wants a developer ID and in some situations wants a
paid account.

For US locations, take a look at the NOAA/NWS services.
http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/rest.php is a similar service, freely
available to the public.  Parseing the NDFD response will take a while
to understand, but it's a simple schema and will be a tiny computational
burden.  That page has links to all the relevant documents.

I don't have time to go through all that, but a quick look indicates
that it has all the information that Google was providing.  There will
just be more work involved in organizing it into a tidy little line of
text.
