Bug Description
In Aug 2016 the National Weather Service changed the URLs for retrieving weather info so the weather-util (weather CLI application) needs updated to v2.1 or higher to work.
More info from the developer Jeremy Stanley:
Updated correlation data correcting this was merged into the master
branch of the official upstream Git repository within a day of the
NOAA/NWS change, and is included with all releases since 2.1 (latest
release is 2.2). The data files are also backward compatible with
the 2.0 release if you just want to use the new correlation files
and not upgrade the software. For further details, see the homepage
for the project at:

If you're using Debian/Ubuntu packages, I hope to have updated
versions of these released soon. The relevant bug against the
weather-util-data package is:

It also has some additional workaround instructions, which may help.

This is fixed by the weather-util-data 2.3-1 package in Zesty, but that version of weather-util contains a nasty Py3k incompatibility which is fixed in the 2.3-2 package which just migrated to Debian testing today and so should probably get auto-imported to Zesty soon (after which we can think about an SRU).
