I may have found a fix for this issue. Within the cache xml file, there is a parameter called expiredTime (expiredTime="5040"). I changed this value down to 500 and the weather updates were only one day behind. Changing this value down to 50 now shows the current day. I am still unsure if this value's units are hours or minutes? I would guess however that this value would need reset if the station was disconnected and restarted.

Again, any feedback would be appreciated.

I have been working on this issue for the past few weeks. If you view the Yahoo Weather source (i.e. http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?z=15275&u=f), you should see the current weather info. However, it seems that info is cached. If you view that same page tomorrow or the next subsequent days, it will still show the original day's weather. To clear it, I found you can clear the cache from the browser, close the browser, and reopen the browser. Then, the current day weather is shown.

Any helpful tips are welcomed.
