The table itself is pretty simple: It's just two columns, one with every zipcode in the US, and the other with the corresponding weather code.
If the weather-codes are all as short as in your example, you could create a file that's just an on-disk flat array of weather-codes, indexed by zip code. In other words, if a weather-code is at most n bytes long, you just seek to zipcode*n in the file and read n bytes.
Assuming n==8 as in your example, it would be an 800kbyte file. (But I bet it will compress really well, so it'll increase your app's download size by much less than that.)
