You may also be running into this issue which I found in the archives.

Yes.. that means that the animated maps aren't working. :)

Again, I have to use Fedora paths because it is all I am familiar with,
but try testing the script directly:
cd /usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts
./animaps.pl

If it gives you an error (missing perl module), then you are missing
some software in order to make it work. Specifically, for animaps.pl,
you need:
ImageMagick-perl (the ImageMagick perl libraries)
Image::Size
