Artist's Note

Weather skin with AccuWeather. Meaning that it works. Unlike the Weather.com skins.

I like the addition of the bars to the top and bottom.

Nice to have a working weather skin again.

Also, is there any way for you to add in sunrise, sunset, and other neat statistics?

There is indeed. But you need to change the RegExp line to the following;
(?siU)[forecast](.*)<day number="2">(.*)[daycode](.*)[/daycode
].*[sunrise](.*)[/sunrise].*[sunset](.
*)[/sunset].*[daytime].*[txtshort](.*)
[/txtshort].*[weathericon](.*)[/weathe
ricon].*[hightemperature](.*)[/hightem
perature].*[realfeelhigh](.*)[/realfee
lhigh].*

Make sure that it's not broken in the your code. Should be on one line only.
Then you need to change the StringIndex of pretty much eevrything and create new meters for sunrise and sunset. But the StringIndex are as follownig;
1=> Not interesting and lots of text
2=> Same a 01
3=> Day
4=> Sunrise
5=> Sunset
6=> Short weather text
7=> Icon
8=> Temperature
9=> Real feel

I'll work on that.

It might take me a few days to get around to it and finish it, but if I do, I'll upload it.

I can probably add it to another skin that's going to provide more information. This skin really just is a simple skin to get the weather information. Made to fit in pretty much any config. :P
Gonna get cracking on the new skin then. \o/

Don't know if anyone else has figured this out, but it's still possible to get the old weather.com skins working. It involves an annoying registration process to get a custom XML link, but if you prefer one of the older ones it may be worth it.

After you've registered, just paste the link they email to you into the appropriate spot in the skin's .ini file.

The problem with using the XML instead of the XOAL is that it's a loop hole that they are putting an end to. Also, by signing their contract, you allow them to track you. All the information you gather, you give them the rights to do what EVER they want to.
So, it's a really stupid idea to cling on to instead of just switching to a new weather site that has a deal with the community.

Is this everywhere in the skin or is it just one specific place?
Could you join the forums ( http://www.rainmeter.net/forum/index.php ) and describe the problem a little more and post a screenshot?
