That way it could be stuck to the status bar or to the windows title bar and it will never overlay a useful screen area.

But it would be nice to remark that time shown below is the time of the last report. Anyways, good job!

Also, people might be confused by the time in the lower left corner. It's not the current local time, but the time of the last update. Maybe put it in a mouseover popup window with some text?

I modified script.js to "var _maxLoc = 11;" and easily display 11 cities.

I have been really busy this year so I didn't work on my widgets. I still use them though, especially this one (I live in a city, my family in another one and my GF in a third one). A couple of days ago, Weather.com changed its XML request format so the widget broke. I couldn't let you (and me) down of course! so I opened it and fixed it.
Download it and (continue) having fun! Ciao!
PS: A couple of answers to your questions:
- It supports Severe weather alerts (only for US)
- The time showed is NOT the current time. It's the time of the last update. It is returned by Weather.com in its XML response.
- Current day forecasts aren't available AFAIR. I'll check it.
- If you can't find your city there are two possibilities: Weather.com doesn't have it in its database and you can do nothing but cry OR Weather.com uses a different name for the location (e.g. ROMA, the italian capital, is listed as ROME), in this case, try looking for your place in weather.com website and see what name it is using for it.
