I think this is really the source of my troubles with the new plugin.pm
file.  The period being covered is unexpected.  I generally want my
devices to show the "next" period forecast.  So using Custom Clock I
accomplish this by asking for data about "period 0".  It's 8:58pm right
now, so I expect that data to tell me tonight's forecast.  Instead, it
tells me "Observed Today" is cloudy with a high of 40.  A criticism
towards weather.com ... shouldn't a weather forecast be, well I don't
know, a -forecast- about the -future-?!

Greg, are you forced to pull the data in this manner because of the new
site layout?  Or is it possible to have things they way they used to be?
I think most users of your plugin are used to the prior behavior.  I
fear I'll shift my problem 12/24 hours forward if I pull period 1
instead of period 0, but I'll give it a try.
