ITYT has a new service allowing users to get a quick METAR and TAF reports via email, especially via a 2-way mobile email device like a phone or RIM.
Just send a blank email to
wx@ityt.com with a four-digit weather station code in the subject line such as "KHOU" or "KAUS." Within a couple minutes, ITYT's WX service will reply with METAR and TAF information for that weather station.
