The issue with pinging a weather server was, probably, it leading to static weather. After all, people tend to play multiple games a day. And, I, certainly, wouldn't find having all my home games at, say, Colorado State being 75 F, or whatever the current temp is, and rainy because of Colorado's traditional 15:00 (3 p) clouding on a rainy day fun. I know this because I'd vacation in the Colorado Springs area before that aunt and uncle moved to my state of residence. Thus, the only slightly unrealistic thing is it being 100 F in the mountains.

I lived in CO for 15 years and own land there, but also spend most of my time in upstate NY, so my perception of water in CO is askew. I just know that during summers in FTC and Denver it'd rain once a week, for like 5 mins.

It's either sunny, snowing, or night. I'm sure some have happened, but i also used to work games on the sidelines at CSU in the early 2000s (was doing comms and sound), and was getting sunburned all the time and never had to really account for the rain that season, just the cold at the end of it...
TB teams would have an issue with this, but it's an easy fix down the road anyway. (Pin TB teams to region within the home state and force the weather ping to use those statistics)
