Hi Chippy-
It appears weather.com has changed their page slightly. Historically
(before the changes) they showed current conditions plus 3 periods for
all locations.
After the recent changes for US sites they showed a special trupoint
reading plus 2 periods. Non-US sites showed 3hourly estimates plus 2
periods. To accommodate the changes for US I showed the trupoint + 2
periods. For Non-US I showed the middle hourly estimate + 2 periods.
Now it looks like for the US they're showing 3 periods again along with
the Trupoint. For Non-US they're showing 3 periods and two hourly
estimates.

I'll need to reassess things with these changes... Also, the out of
order tonight is actually originating from the 10-day forecasts (it's
day 1 of 10). One can argue it's duplicate info from the other screens,
but if I removed it then people would likely complain that the 10day is
off by one... argh!
