Weather displayed on desktop?

Does anyone know of a program or weather site that offers something to where the current local weather can be displayed on my desktop? I've been searching but can't seem to find one. I was browsing another site and guys had there home screens posted and it would show like the temp, humidity, cloud cover, etc. Thanks

Weather.com has what you're looking for. I have it on my desktop. It stays in my task row w/ the current temp showing. When I want more details, I double-click and there's the 10-day forecast.

Yahoo widgets are your friend. I've been using them for a while, they work great.

yeah i had a couple different desktop themes from stardock/desktopX or whatever.. i ultimately deleted the whole deal after a few months cuz it wasnt practical and made other things a pain to do and i got tired of the widgets screwing up etc etc..
