Before anyone asks, yes, I have permission from the National Weather Service to use this:

I need a part of their website embeded into my website. I could just take a screenshot, but that updates several times a day. Here's the part that I need embedded on mine:

I've tried with iframe, and a div, and I can't seem to figure it out. I thought I almost had it, but when I mess with the css code, it screws up things on my website: https://www.arklahomaw.com/outlook.html (this is the page I want to put it on).

thank you for your feedback. it's true that we don't always get 100% of what we'd hoped for. but the main thing is that you're now able to provide the information service that needed to be activated.

in fact, to avoid any spillover from one to the other, make a clear distinction between the two: your page and your weather space.

So, CSS code your site as you would, remembering to integrate only the container block for displaying your external weather content (no matter how it's fed, iFrame, API, include, Rest, whatever...)... but it's represented by an ID (#foo), and only its display surface is taken into account in mobile mode up to 5K widescreens.

Once everything is ok and responsive, then you add a new CSS where all the rules start with #foo and which will only take into account the content of your weather area.
