The forcast field holds a reference to the BBC site. The NASA/metar
feeds like the KORH one only hold the current observation so don't
have any forecast info on them.  The BBC weather site does have the 5
day forecast. So for Worcester,MA the forecast field should be
forecast=world=0514
you could also use world=0514 as the current weather data too if you like.
