Just a thought...but what do I know.

I just love this program and want it to continue forever!
I don't think you would "hack" it, but rather build an interface layer that would convert an alternate source to the format that weatherpanel expects.

It would be an extention of the current fix.

One note - most of the weather data providers have TOS similar to TWC..
