    hello.
    the site might need some improvements:
    - a logo that is more neat. this one doesn't look very good
    - another background color: the gray and black are not fit for a weather site
    most of the people who check this out are persons staying at a desk and wondering how it's gonna be on week-end
    - the donations button doesn't look very good and will not make a good impression since you're advertising on the site
    - work a bit on the css because the footer links don't look good in that context(blue over gray)

    hope it helps.

    Here are my suggestions:
    - Header -> try a different font color/style. Maybe a gel-like/shiney blue effect? The color scheme on the font right now kind of clash
    - Change the black area of your site to grey or the white area of your site to grey.. one or the other. I think there's too much of a strong contrast between the blk/white on your site
    - For your adsense ad on the background, remove the border and make the ad's background match your background (for better blending! :))

    You need to change color back ground.
    Also change design and heading of your site.

    Here are some changes that I would suggest:
    - You need a better logo. Something that is clean and professional, matches the site colors (more on that later) and will be easily remembered/recognized.
    - I would totally change the color scheme. Go for something bright and vibrant: think sunshine and springtime instead of dark rainy winter. Don't be affraid to copy other websites color schemes (ie www.weather.com). What they have works. Don't try to reinvent the wheel.
    - Focus on giving week-end, 10 day, etc data. When people check the forecast, they want to know what the future will look like (ie the week-end).
    - Go with either AdWords or Donation. Don't do both. This kills your credibility. My vote would be for adwords. This is the easiest. Why in the hell would someone want to donate money to a weather site? (There are dozens available for free).

    Good luck!!!
