Let's not encourage PAX to call the ATIS! It can sometimes be challenging enough to get through for real pilots that have a valid reason to call the ATIS/AWOS.
I'd suggest a trip to
http://aviationweather.gov/adds/ click on TAF tab, type in the airport of interest, check TAF and METAR and select the translate option (if you don't understand the abbreviated version). This will give the current conditions and the forecast every 6 hours for the next 24 hours. Don't forget to put K in front of US airports (look up the ICAO designation for non-US airports).
