+# Wilson's Weather App - Front End
+
+Wilson's Weather is a web application designed to provide real-time weather updates based on user location or manual search input. It leverages geolocation for auto-detecting the user's position or allows users to search for a specific location to get weather details.

+- **Weekly Weather Forecast**: Provides a look at the weather for the upcoming week.
+- **Location Search**: Users can type in a location to see the weather there. An autocomplete feature suggests locations as the user types.
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+- **Frontend**: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
+- **API**: Custom backend hosted on Heroku (Node.js)
+- **Styling**: Uses `styles.css` for custom styles and Font Awesome for icons.
+
