Rails app to warn you of rain. [github]

WeatherTF is a simple rails app that sends you an SMS message with the forecast for your latitude/longitude every morning . Lat/Lon is determined by browser geolocation (if available).

Messages are actually just emails, which are sent to your carrier’s SMS gateway, which will deliver a plain-text email as a message. Messages are sent at 8am (EST) every morning via resque-scheduler. Normal emails are sent using resque.

• Forecasts are via the Forecast.io. API.
• Background images are from Ansel Adams’ “National Parks” series).
