The Gnome weather report applet has ceased working on CentOS5/6.
http://weather.noaa.gov/ says "This service is no longer available". Are
there any good alternatives? I liked the applet as it allowed the use of a
custom radar map.
As I just discovered, the weather functionality of the CentOS6 Gnome clock
applet was using the same service.

Had you gone to noaa.gov, and clicked on climate, it appears that they
want to now charge you $3/yr for the service.
The data is still there for free. The National Weather Service sent out a
message several months ago that http://weather.noaa.gov and the data on
that site would be shut down due to server consolidaton.
Here's the official announcement, and where the data is available now:
