As requested, I've spent a fair amount of my spare time investigating
the changes to weather.com and learning about JSON and how to transfer
it into perl data structures.  I've had more success than I expected. 
(not a programmer)

I expect most of you will move on to use tcutting's WU API variant of
SDT.  However, if there are any of you interested in a "resurrection" of
a weather.com capable SDT I have attached a plugin.pm file with my
initial results extracting and parsing weather.com JSON data into SDT.
Still a lot to do.

What I have working seems to work as before.  The one big caveat is you
need to change your weather.com city code to the complete city
identifier.  
i.e. - Olathe KS = 66062:4:US   
London UK = UKXX0085:1:UK

Cheers... Don

PS - I expect weather.com may be more stable going forward since they
moved to JSON data.  They can reformat the webpage all they want and
still use the same JSON data files.
