Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) by PRISM Climate group Oregon State temperature, precipitation 4km daily weather variable grids that I have converted to daily county FIPS and ZIP Code summaries for use in several papers.
Available for download (see Data below) in RDS (compact) or csv (large) format.
In Python it is easy to load RDS files and much more compact files than csvs too.
Note that ZIP Code throughout is actually ZIP Code Tablulation Area (ZCTA), which was developed to overcome the difficulties in precisely defining the land area covered by each ZIP code. Defining the extent of an area is necessary in order to tabulate census data for that area.

Let me know if you'd like me to run any other specific states, but others in progress.
fips_tmean.R - processing tmean by FIPS
fips_ppt.R - processing ppt by FIPS
zips_tmean.R - processing tmean by ZIP Code
zips_ppt.R - processing ppt by ZIP Code
processing_code.R - does the heavy lifting called in by bash files for either FIPS or ZIP Code
