Weather script

Hello All,
I wrote a script that grabs the 3-day forecast for my location from wttr.in and
posts it to my BBS. This is written in bash.
The display is converted to ASCII so all users can view it using iconv. The lines you're interested in are lines 4 and 5.
=== Cut ===
#!/bin/bash
export MBSE_ROOT=/opt/mbse
cd $MBSE_ROOT/work
curl wttr.in/?TdFn > ./test
iconv -f UTF-8 -t ascii//TRANSLIT test -o weather1.asc
cp weather1.asc $MBSE_ROOT/share/int/txtfiles/en/weather1.asc
