This showed up: "Homemade migas this morning; cold brewed coffee & client work the rest of the day" How about you match only if at least two words are weather-related? Or at least 1 weather related + 1 location related, like "cold in new york."

Thanks! Yea it's definitely imperfect, but I'm limited by the functionality of the twitter search api, what i have been doing and what I can improve on is filtering out of common terms that involve weather related words, so for instance "ice cream", or in your case "cold brewed", which I am about to add to the exclusion list. granted this whole app has only about 15 hours of dev in it, so such a list is going to be FAR from perfect.

I concur. There is definitely some room for improvement on the word filtering.

I'm at Pac Sun (205 W Blackstock Rd # 210, Spartanburg, SC)

Otherwise, I think this is an awesome idea. Keep it up.

Ok. BTW, why are you using the twitter search API instead of Gnip?

I definitely plan on switching to gnip. As i said, tweetweather is just something I put together after work the past week, grabbing from the search api was the quick and easy solution to getting tweets into the system.

Gnip rocks.
