I'm currently in Rancho Mirage, CA - but the local location that appears is anywhere from Cathedral City (not far) to Temecula (far). I've installed the update and it still doesn't work.

I could put in a request for it and see what we could do. Our meteorologists might be able to come up with this sort of thing. I don't believe our stations automate it.

I think I finally found the current conditions, but it is tiny. I would also like some words (Partly cloudy, sunny, t-storms, etc) with it. The same words that are displayed when you look at the information in the notifications window or the list of location.
Here is a rough markup.
For kicks and giggles, here what three weather apps look like on a 3.2" screen in landscape mode.
Weatherbug
The current verison of the Weather Channel app. When you compare the amount of visible information to the image below this one, this UI is not user friendly.
The Dish Network weather app (provided by the Weather Channel and uses the old UI of the The Weather Channel app)
Do you have the GPS on or just the assistedGPS because the AssistedGPS uses cell towers to trianglate your location which can put you anywhere... Try tuning on GPS reciever and see what happens.
Also, if you have your WiFi on, that can be used for location services as well. This can be much more accurate (when I'm at home, it shows my location as my actual address ) but I've also heard of it throwing locations off, because, if you are within range of a WiFi signal (you don't have to be connected) and that person has recently moved, but is still using the same equipment, it may translate to their former address.
could be worse.. twice now the my weather services (both weather channel and the one that comes on the phone..) have place me in Bogota, Columbia... while I'm actually in Las Vegas... its super weird.. anyone have suggestions on that one?
Who's providing the weather for your cell phone? If it's WeatherBug I might be able to help. I work for WeatherBug.
parkernathan, you really work for WeatherBug? Just curious, was there an outage in North Texas (Dallas area) yesterday? We had severe weather and I could not get the radar to display the rain (clouds). The Weather Channel app worked fine. Today, discussing the weather with a friend who has an EVO 4G (who installed WeatherBug at my suggestion) also said WeatherBug wasn't displaying radar during yesterday's storm on his phone, either.
Glad you like WeatherBug for your Mobile Phone! Makes us feel great to hear such good feedback!
Then again, I have seen us offer this in browser plugins, etc., so it probably wouldn't be hard to pull off.

I would buy elite weatherbug but it has terrible ratings. Most say it has not been updated. Can you clarify ? Thanks
Elite removes the ads and gives you lightning maps and animated maps/cams, so it has some pretty amazing stuff in it for the price. As for updating, we're working as fast as we can to update to a new version and add new features, but it's been rough and we ran into a few issues. Rest assured the lightning and map features are alone worth the price, and we're working overtime to continuously update the app, with new updates coming soon. I'd go for it.

Thanks. I'll pass this onto our mobile guys.
