I mean the Windows notifications! Here is how they look from the Microsoft weather app:

Ah I see.

One issue I see is that currently the cache and weather fetch code is run from the main app, for background notification there needs to be background service and it will probably need to run it #3

That shouldn't be an issue, there's many ways we could do this. We could have a separate program running that starts on windows startup (should user allow it) which will run in background and update the weather cache as well as giving upcoming weather notifications, or we could make a service but don't know if services can send notifications. Either way we should keep it as simple as possible.

We could probably also keep it in the main program, but add an option to hide or show the UI which should also free up resources associated with it. The periodic weather updates and notifications can run on a separate thread.
