jMetar
jMetar is a small program that receives aviation weather reports (METARs) or weather forecasts (TAFs) from the NOAA Website. It shows a small icon describing the weather in graphical form. Clicking the small icon displays a translation tool for interpreting the information. It also includes a facility for creating text files from METARs, which can be imported into X-Plane.
