I've only been using it for about 5 hours, but the fixes made in version 2.5 to account for the changes to the weather.com feed seem to have resolved the update problem. Thanks, Alwin.

WeatherDock CommentaryNo 6th to 10th day forecast :-( - Version: 2.5, 5/8/2008 07:19PM PST

Arrrrgghhh!!! Not like predicting the weather has been that successful for even beyond 3 to 4 days, but I STILL used the 6- to 10- day forecast on occasion whenever we went on vacations or planned weekend outings a week in advance. Now I can't even get a USELESS prediction. Probably better NOT to know anything at all than it is to know something erroneous or unpredictable...

does not update. Only way to update is to restart the app. In the pull down from menu bar it says: "Weather dock is starting up, one moment please."
