I was using GetWeather for awhile. Then weather.com changed the source code for the webpage GetWeather grabs the data from to intentionally break it. They have tags with fake data before the real data is displayed. GetWeather by default only grabs and stores the data from the first instance of the tag found.

I edited it and got the temperature working again but I was never able to make the condition image report correctly.

weather.com wants everyone to sign up for their XML service and not "scraping" the webpage. I don't know of any solution that uses the XML data.
