This works brilliantly, thank you. It did not take much time to do and the documentation was spot on, except for below.
The only issue is the file path given for the macro. It should be "file:/........" You are missing the additional /.
I would also suggest restructuring the order of instruction so that a weather.txt file is created first, before adding the macro. Possibly containing simple "TEST" text (it's going to get overwritten anyways, right?). This would do two things. Let you know the overlay is working correctly locally before adding in the variable of pulling weather data. And also allowing the use of the "Set to file" button in the macro menu. This alleviates any issues with an incorrect path by navigating directly to it.

Some questions I have:
- What happens if task scheduler polls faster than every 15 minutes?
- Can I remove information and only display certain weather data? If so, how?
Try this to create an API key.I hove picked a station ID but I also need to know what the weather underground API Key to fill in this line of code "
Your PW Station ID&format=json&units=e&apiKey=Your WU API Key*"
Micheal_N_Blackwell responded as follows: "the API key is a Key that you get from Weather Underground for your Personal Weather Station (PWA), it's one of the options available to you when you register your PWS with WU. " So if I don't have a PWA then I am trying to understand what to put in the code for the WU_API_Key.
Thanks
