to temporarily disable the "Error in Weather" pop-up until this problem is fixed, open this file:
/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/weather/weather.py
scroll down to line 240 or 245 (depending on your awn version) and put a # at the beginning, to comment out the line:
self.notification.show()
so that block of code should now look like this:
def network_error_cb(self, e, tb):
if type(e) is NetworkException:
print "Error in Weather:", e
# self.notification.show()
if type(e) is NetworkException:
print "Error in Weather:", e
# self.notification.show()
restart awn, or log out/in

This is solution to stop notification alert, but we must find the solution to work again the applet.

Using the URL that get_conditions uses
I receive this xml back
Seems like the key is invalid or incorrectly formatted?

Check out that link. The license the applet was using is expired. So I created a new one I have no idea how long it will last.
Change line 606 (or 616, depending on awn version) from
__ws_key = "&prod=xoap&par=1048871467&key=12daac2f3a67cb39&link=xoap"
to
__ws_key = "&prod=xoap&par=1287722164&key=e11ec82daa20d876"
in /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/weather/weather.py and restart avant.
Hope this works for everyone.

Excellent...
Is there a time frame for re-applying for a license that can be automated?

Thank you for the repair. Curious as to the license expiration question posted above also...

Changing the key will fix the forecast/conditions. Thanks for that!
If you come across this thread, but are also/instead having issues with the map/radar...
In the get_map_weather function change the map_url (~line 663) to:
map_url = "http://www.weather.com/weather/map/%s"; % location_code
In the get_map_weather function change the map_url (~line 663) to:
map_url = "http://www.weather.com/weather/map/%s"; % location_code
[Exclude the semicolon (;) after the double-quote (") - forum added it in there erroneously...yet another awn forum error ;)]

NOTE: Submitted https://bugs.launchpad.net/awn-extras/+bug/908820 for the maintainer of awn-extras to update the key for all to get the fix auto-magically.

Hmmm... it seems to be down again. How does one get a new license for this?

It appears TWC has gone to a subscription based service.
This applet is dead dead dead!

That is too bad - another user suggested using Google weather on the bug report. I'm not sure if it is a viable option or not but it would be nice to have similar functionality again.
If I had coding skills greater than that of an illiterate three year old, I would be happy to help. Unfortunately I do not:(

In my weather.py I changed line 636, line 650 and line 682 where it reads "xoap" to "xml" and this works without problems for me. I ran this on the last update to weather applet and the latest update to weather applet as well. If it's legal or not I don't know (in regard to subscriptions) but it works.
Best regards,
Johnny.

In my installation, "xoap" was found 4x in weather.py:
The first was on line 606 for __ws_key. This should NOT be changed to "xml".
The 2nd-4th were all subdomain name's in URLs: lines 626 (get_locations()), 640 (get_conditions()), and 671 (get_forecast()).
The subdomain used in the map_url variable for the get_weather_map() function should remain as "www".

Works for me too!
For me are other lines (593 - 607 - 638).

Easy way to find the lines, just hit Ctlr+H
search for http://xoap.weather.com/
and change to http://xml.weather.com/
search for http://xoap.weather.com/
and change to http://xml.weather.com/

@Dodger123-
great trick - now I don't need to go out anymore to experience, how cold it is.
Just like to mention, that I needed to change the license key and to exchange the 3 'Xoap' to 'xml'.
