The Gnome weather report applet has ceased working on CentOS5/6. http://weather.noaa.gov/ says "This service is no longer available". Are there any good alternatives? I liked the applet as it allowed the use of a custom radar map.
As I just discovered, the weather functionality of the CentOS6 Gnome clock applet was using the same service.

Had you gone to noaa.gov, and clicked on climate, it appears that they want to now charge you $3/yr for the service.
<rant> It would be good to have someone sue US government for that. According to US law, everything paid for by taxpayer's money should be freely accessible by everybody (including non-US entities). Compare, e.g., with GPS. </rant>
