@dan12345, here is what I’ve done.
I am using the Weather binding and pulling data from Yahoo. I also have a Webview with a compact summary of current conditions and the forecast. I’m using Yahoo’s condition icons in the sitemap. I also save temp and humidity values and present some charts in the sitemap.
I’m using Yahoo but the instructions purport to work with Wunderground, though the condition IDs might be different.
First I followed the instructions here to download and rename the weather condition icons for OH’s use and for making the map for the condition codes. However, these instructions have your item pull the data from Yahoo directly through the HTTP binding and applying an XSLT transform rather than getting the data through the Weather binding so I don’t use the transform. I use these icons for Condition_Id in my sitemap.
I am using rrd4j for persistence and charting, saving the charted items once a minute.
I can’t remember where I saw this example (maybe in the demo?) but I have some charts I use to see the weather, humidity, and pressure with a switch to move between three different charting periods (last hour, last day, last week).
Finally, I used the instructions at the bottom of the Weather Binding’s wiki page to create the webview of the current and next two days of the forecast. I customized it somewhat for my own purposes.
Here is my binding config:
# No API key when using Yahoo
weather:location.home.name=Home
weather:location.home.latitude=XX.XXXXXX
weather:location.home.longitude=XXX.XXXXXX
weather:location.home.provider=Yahoo

Number Weather_Temp_Min_1 "Tomorrow's Minimum [%.0f] °F" <temperature> { weather="locationId=home, forecast=1, type=temperature, property=min, unit=fahrenheit" }

Number Weather_Temp_Max_2 "Tomorrow's Minimum [%.0f] °F" <temperature> { weather="locationId=home, forecast=2, type=temperature, property=max, unit=fahrenheit" }

What it looks like:
etc.
Hope this helps.

EDIT: Fixed an error in the openhab.cfg section. I needed to have:
weather.location.home.provider=Yahoo
weather.location.home.language=en
not
weather.location.provider=Yahoo
weather.location.language=en
