I assume your problem is with the current conditions, right?

Yep...

Since you had mentionned UTC/GMT I thought your source might have been the BBC but it 
is indeed the US National Weather Service (NWS for short).

I don't know if the info will be OK tomorrow but tonight I am getting small stars (ie 
the right info) for the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport.

Try to find where the US NWS scripts are on your pc and run nwsxml.pl like so

./nwsxml.pl -u ENG KARB

Do you get the right info in the weather and weather_icon? The little stars are 
usually associated with Fair and fair.jpg.

If I run it here (right now) I get:

cclocation::Ann Arbor Municipal Airport, MI
station_id::KARB
latitude::42.22
longitude::-83.75
observation_time::Last Updated on Mar 8 2010, 9:53 pm EST

windchill_string::NA

Which is essentially what I/you should get if you go to this URL:

http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KARB.xml

Let me know what happens...

Have a nice day!
