Default Weather Forecast Algorithm

I remember reading some time ago about an algorithm for generating a
weather forecast from the sort of information that an AWS provides. I
think it used various factors, including your location, and came up with
a single number which was then used to look up one of a hundred or so
fixed lines of text.

This appears to be how the Davis VP2 comes up with its forecasts, but I
don't know if it uses the same algorithm.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
