AWESOME! Thanks! Weather tables were one of the first homebrew rules I cobbled together for T2k back in the day. My players and I mused about looking up the historical weather at my Origins game, but were only able to turn up the moon for that day.
Also, thanks for the Watch sheet, I should have thought of spreadsheeting that myself.
I have a variation on that kind of spreadsheet, tracking only by day, but each column tracks what the PCs are doing, what important NPCs & enemies might be doing, weather and local rumors and news. It can keep track of stuff happening outside the campaign area (say, the 5th Mech getting overrun in the Baltic Marines game I might be running, or something happening down in Warsaw), which can filter to the PCs over time. That can add to the feeling that the world is moving on and living all around the players.
