MythWeather gives inconsistent reports (due to MSNBC data)

[anonymous]

The MSNBC URL used to collect the weather data gives inconsistent reports. Loading that URL into a browser and compare the results by hitting the reload button. A different weather source is needed.

Example: ​http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/d/weather_d_src.asp?acid=USMI0061
