I spoke too soon, it's not changing, so I guess will have to find a different way to do this. I'm also contemplating installing meteotemplate, so this requirement may not be so critical. Although for a dedicated weather meter display I have on my small raspberry pi it would be nice to have the scrolling WU forecast. I would definitely +1 the idea to be able to add this to the scroller. WU updates it's forecast every 15 minutes.
