Wouldn't this fill up your /etc/hosts file?
I'd suggest something like (using tcsh and not fully tested) :
( fgrep -v www.weather.com /etc/hosts ; host www.weather.com | awk '{ print $4, "\t", $1}' ) > /etc/hosts.N && mv /etc/hosts.N /etc/hosts
also, it does depend on your /etc/nsswitch.conf (or /etc/resolv.conf, netinfo, depending on your OS) using the hosts file before dns.
$ fgrep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files dns

or if you need a very quick hack and you aren't willing to recompile a package this should work
put this in cron all on one line to run once a day or so
echo "`host www.weather.com | cut -d" " -f 4` w3.weather.com" >> /etc/hosts
