It looks fine, but please make sure any new strings are wrapped in proper i18n(). I cannot approve this commit until that's please.

It requests the 7-day forecast but only displays the days for which data is available (usually 5-7 days).  The weather icon descriptions unfortunately don't match those used by the normal observation feed, and are defined at <http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/schema/parameters.xsd> ; we however use a similar heuristic algorithm (keyword search)) to find the best match for the returned weather conditions.
