[arm-allstar] weather script

I have some counties in there and locations I am no longer interested in.
So I just do not have any reference to them in my rpt.conf. I do not
believe that should be an issue.

I fixed the typo.

I checked /tmp/wx and I have alert_short.ul, wx_forecast.ul, and
cur_WxRpt_ug.ul.

Here is below my copy/paste you asked for.
