I just tried switching back to daily overview forecasts, and I am now seeing the same thing you describe. It's Monday morning, and the Monday forecast is displayed.

Maybe the behavior I described was a bug that was fixed in a update? Whatever the explanation, thanks!

IMO its the best looking app for weather and it reminds me how awesome N900 can be with proper software

Take a look

Ah so it really is there to download. Is it in extra-dev or where?

Or maybe I wasn't remembering the problem correctly! Some time this afternoon, the Monday forecast disappeared. By that time, the high temperature for the afternoon might have already occurred, but the low temperature for the following night certainly hadn't!

On the N810, OMWeather shows "N/A" in place of the predicted high during the evening hours, and continues to show the predicted overnight low. That's what I'd like to have on the N900, but neither of the weather widgets seems to capable of doing this.

I see what you are saying. Its 11.20 pm on Tuesday for me right now but Foreca has replaced todays forecast with Wednesdays.

I never noticed that before and could have sworn it was still showing Tuesdays forecast as recently as a few minutes ago. As there were thunder storms this evening I made a point to check it late in the afternoon and it was certainly as I expected then.

Ill pay closer attention tomorrow. I wonder if the current forecast disappears once it transitions into night, ie the moon icon. That would make sense I guess.

This study requires more discipline than I imagined. The latest I have been able to check is 10:45 pm. At this time the earliest prediction shown was the current day.

I am tempted therefore to assume that the Foreca widgets 4 day prediction moves to the next day an hour early.

I would be curious if RobbHs widget changes day earlier than this. I have tried playing with the settings such as the update interval but the earliest day has never changed before 11.

i like the OMW better and i organize my desktops in a way where one is dedicated to contacting people in various ways (convo widget + shortcuts to mms email and so on..) another one is media (all media related) another one is weather + couple links and last one is app related + custom stuff.
