XWeather breaks 3 to 4 time a year. This is why I use xOAPweather plugin. In the years I have been running it I've had no real problems. And the sourcecode is there if I need it.

mine's been running fast, and i do my update every 20 min.
it could be the zip codes you are trying to download.
their might be an issue on the weather side, on specific servers that hold the data for the zipcode you are trying to get.

just an idea....

I use 19035 and 29455. For most of today I get minimal forecasts, no location info, no maps and no current info in the overlay.

I'll take a look at xoapwx as Badabing suggests.

I pulled it off your Modern Metal skin.
I like the fact that the plugin displays the variables.
Thank you :)

I see you're in the DFW area. I used to work in the Tandy towers.
