on a schedule/when you move into a new area, the phone will go out
to a server and retrieve the weather information for the area
you're in.
being able to glance at the today screen and see up-to-date weather

What you suggest are what people call Location Based Services and
there's plenty of ideas for such things.
Find local services, taxi, food, hotel.
Warn of weather.
Local news.
Have a read:
