AccuWeather Widget Wrong Location

The AccuWeather widget says I'm 164 miles west of my current location. GPS and GMap are perfect - only the AccuWeather is off. We are travelling so I certainly hope this is a fluke!
 
Try using Find Me - it's in the 3 dots on the top right of the app. See where it thinks you are.
Are you using the free or paid? If it's the paid - complain to Accuweather.

Sometimes you used to be able to fix that by waving the phone around in a figure 8 pattern.

Mine has me located at the bottom of the hill I live on. I had never even heard of that subdivision!

If you are using Weather Underground - they go by reporting non-gov. weather stations. You pick the one closest to you.
That could be what Accuweather is doing also.

I keep an eye on Utah weather around the NPS, and so far all of those locations and other in-state locations have stayed put.
 
My app does not have 3 dots or a find me. Anyway, it's working fine at today's location. New location tomorrow - I'll check in and let you know.
