This is a simple Flask web application that allows users to check the weather for a city in the USA. It uses the WeatherAPI to provide weather information based on user input.
- Users can enter the name of a city in the USA.
- The app validates whether the city is a valid city in the USA.
- If the city is valid, it retrieves and displays weather information.
- If the city is not valid, it displays an error message and clears the input field.
- The app uses a separate configuration file to store the WeatherAPI key for security.
