[arm-allstar] Wunderground API

Doug, just to go back to the very basics for one minute please. I have this
for a crontab:

00 10-19 * * * (source /usr/local/etc/allstar.env ; /usr/bin/nice -19
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/say24time.pl 48843 $NODE1 > /dev/null)

How would I add the solar report to the top of the hour? I assume I have to
enable something in a weather script but do I need to add a API key? Asof
now a zip code gets me "Foggy and 32" or "Sunny and 75".
