Embed text weather condition and temp for zip using Javascript / Ajax

I was wondering if anyone knew of a javascript code sniplet that I could feed a zip code too and it would spit back out the weather condition and temp in plain text format that I could then style using css
what I want is to feed it something like a zip and it return "sunny 65" or something along those lines that I could then style to match my site

Wunderground.com and weather.com offer something similar.

something like that second option would work
but I have no idea on how to implement that using javascript or ajax

the first option wouldn't work because I want just the text of the temp and condition no graphics or anything

Perhaps some of these would help point you in the right direction on how to consume the xml service.

FYI NOAA also has an xml feed. Ther pages contains more information on the feed and it's use than wunderground.com.

Take a Look: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/xml/#use_it
