Getting tomorrow's high temperature

[Thomas Arman]

Here is command that just provides the digits of the temp:

curl http://api.wunderground.com/api/0516fe43ba763806/forecast/q/NC/Raleigh.json 2>/dev/null | grep \"fahrenheit\": | sed  -n 3p | sed s/.\*\"fahrenheit\":\"// | sed s/\",// 

94

The “3p” selects the third temperature from the response where 1st and 2nd are “DAY 1 high and low” and 3rd and 4th are “DAY 2 high and low”.
