Mine also is tempermental.  It occasionally adds an empty city to the
list and selects it as the default, then complains it can't get an
update and shows weather from Dec 2002.  But, just now I was able to
add a city and select it as default, and it's working.  It's a goofy
bug.

Probably, best advice is don't give up on it .. it may correct itself
like mine did.  I'm not sure whether a reboot makes a difference, but
I just happened to between these errors.
