For Forecast picture:
You will need 2 scripts, one in a Shell and one in an image
1. In the Shell you put:
curl --silent "http://ca.weather.yahoo.com/canada/ontario/toronto-4118/" | grep "forecast-icon" | sed "s/.*background\:url(\'\(.*\)\')\;\ _background.*/\1/" | xargs curl --silent -o /tmp/weather.png\
Replace the toronto URL with the city of your choice. just go on yahoo weather and search ur city. (full size is 250x180 for resizing to scale)
2. in the Image you put
file:///tmp/weather.png
And the image will pop up.
dont forget to change the refresh rate from 0 to.... 1? 100? whatever.

UPDATE:
(remember change "CAXX0504" to your city.
Go here (scroll to RSS feed box)
http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription/
Then submit your city, hit enter
now look at the address bar
should look LIKE this
"http://www.weather.com/weather/rss/subscription/CAXX0333"
the last combo of numbers and letters are mine, when u submit ur city youll get a diff combo
copy and paste your combo into the scripts and its now set for ur town)
