Looking for a small weather widget?

I using launcher pro and trying to go with a minimalistic looking setup. I have battstat and digital clock running on my front page and I would like a nice weather widget. I have seen some on other peoples screens but can't seem to find the right one. I tried beautiful Widgets but had too much going on. Basically what I want is a small weather widget that fits in the corner of the screen with a transparent background? Any suggestions? Thanks
 
I use Weatherbug. It has a 2x1 widget (it might also have a 1x1, I'm not sure - and right this second my phone is loading a new ROM so I can't check). The widget has the option to change, or make invisible, the background color of the widget.
I've seen reports of people having problems with WB being a battery drain, however I've been using it for months with no problems.

Edit: now that my phone is back up and running I can confirm that Weatherbug does have a 1x1 widget.

I'm running Snow Storm using the small widget and a transparent background so it's pretty unobtrusive. Here's a screen shot and you can see it just tucked in next to the date widget.

Also, it has a notification broadcast for serious weather warnings which I just realized week or so ago. Pretty nice customizations, skins, alternate sizes, etc.

St Augustine, really?? That's where I am.
But Weatherbug says it's 88 here! :)

I installed WB but don't see the 2x1 widget??
