Okay, well that's because the content on layout of the page actually changes according to the time of day. Later in the afternoon they start including the forecast overnight minimums as well. Given that I used to work for them, I should have known this - but hey, it was a few years ago ;)

Anyway, this is easy to get around. Given that you aren't interested in the minimums, you can simply alter the pattern match on line 40 to read as follows:

if ($line =~ /^([\w\s]+):.*?Max\s+(\d+)/) {

The change is that we include a non-greedy .* to skip over anything until it reaches "Max".

With that change (and the current content as at 9:30PM CST), I get:

var adeldesc = Fine and cool with increasing high cloud. Moderate eas +t to northeast winds. var mtbkmax = "9" var noarmax = "11" var adelmax = "10" var elizmax = "11"

Cheers,
Darren :)
