RSS feed as "info box"

Please pardon me if this has been answered elsewhere. I have searched extensively, but being new to vbulletin I fear my query words may not have hit their mark.

I am looking for something to take an RSS feed and place only the latest result set in a single location, overwriting any previous data. A perfect example of this behavior are the weather plug-ins. In my case, the RSS feed are the present ocean conditions at a given NOAA buoy (http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/latest_obs/42039.rss)

For reference, the problems I have experienced are:
Stock RSS feed - Creates multiple threads or announcements.
RSS as post - Creates one thread with lots of outdated, useless, data.

Placing the feed in the announcements would work, *if* it each new update deleted the previous announcements.

Any sugestions?
