Comment:

 I don't regularly use MythTV's weather plugin, but I do use mythweb's, and
 I was able to kludge together a working update that uses Yahoo Weather's
 XML feed.  It's easy to parse, but only has forecast data for two days in
 the future (I think MSNBC used to have 5 days).  The relevant URL for me
 is [http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USOH0212].  The XML format
 they use is well documented at [http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/], so
 you won't be surprised by any changes they might make, and this fiasco
 won't happen in the future.
