Added Probability of Precipitation (PoP) from OWM (newly available). The optional attribute is 'percentPrecip'. Also added it to the threedayfcstTile and weatherSummary.

SPECIAL NOTE IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM A VERSION PRIOR TO V0.2.6: (not required if you have version V.0.2.6 or higher already installed or you are doing a first time install)
The suggested updated method with HPM is to do a new install with the new driver (without the 'NWS' in the filename. Once installed, go to your virtual device and update the driver to use the new driver. You can use HPM to delete the old driver as follows: Do an 'Uninstall. If there are two drivers listed with the same name, click on the first "OpenWeatherMap-Alerts Weather Driver". The app asked if I wanted to delete "OpenWeatherMap- NWS -Alerts Weather Driver". Should you pick the wrong one (the one WITHOUT 'NWS' in the name), cancel and retry with the other selection. (Thanks @arnb for those details).
If you do not use HPM then since the filename and the directory name has changed you will need to copy the code and paste it over your current driver. (You cannot use the ImportURL for this this one time because the name and location has changed). Once installed, go to your virtual device and check/update the driver to make sure it is using the new driver.
Bug fixes for new Probability of Precipitation (PoP) from OWM (newly available). These were tested on two coordinate sets (Mobile, AL and St. Lous, MO) On both corrdinate sets the driver reported the PoP and precepitation volume as received in the JSON return from the poll. Also, in both cases the PoP reported was either the number zero or the number 1 (representing 0% and 100% respectively). This appears to be an issue with the API JSON return, as the driver is showing what it received.

More bug fixes for new Probability of Precipitation (PoP) from OWM (newly available). I found my error in the Precip for tomorrow and day after tomorrow. I also verified I am pulling in the JSON 'Daily' forecasted PoP for tomorrow and day after tomorrow. I changed 'Today' to pull in the 'Current' (as opposed to 'Daily') PoP and precip ('rain') amounts.
That is all for today. Let me know what you find that still needs fixed.

Moved today's precip back to 'Daily' (from 'Current').

Refactored the dashboard tiles.
I refactored the dashboard for consistency in appearance, functionality and coding style.
There is a single hyperlink on each tile that is on the OpenWeather logo image. That will take you to your local weather page on OWM for more weather details and any weather alerts. myTile (the left most tile in the first image below) will show as it is in the first image if there is sufficient characters available in the tile limit (1,024). It the character limit is exceeded, it will strip out the icon images in the second to last row and strip out the sunrise & sunset icon images. In that case, those icons will be replaced with characters (see second image). There are many things that can cause the character limit to be exceeded, including your city name length, condition text length, number of decimals you chose to display and if there are any current weather alerts displayed.
(the images below are from my NON-PWS version of the driver, but they tiles are identical to this version)
Those are errors from HPM, not from the driver. I'm not convinced there is a problem with the manifest, or perhaps the issue is reading the Github location maybe? I looks like a HPM issue? My drivers do not have a betaLocation so not sure why t would be looking for that?
Let me know if other get manifest issues wit my drivers and I'll look into it further.
Just noticed the one has NWS in it still and I did uninstall that but I also noticed when the package manager is looking for updates it still sees NWS in the list but never shows it as an update being available. So no harm but just interesting I think. I guess it's not totally uninstalled, at least as far as package manager knows.
The icon displayed is driven by the condition code returned by OWM. I did see where I had mapped a 'Thunderstorm' icon to to condition code 801, which is 'Few clouds'. I updated the code to show this instead:
I did NOT update the version number. To get this minor icon mapping change, you can do a 'Repair' if you use HPM. If you do not use HPM, open the code and 'Import' the new code.
New tinyurl for icons. https://tinyurl.com/icnqz/ points to the same location as the previous tinyurl, but is three characters shorter. With nine icons in the myTile, that frees up 27 characters for other data/formatting. If you are updating you may want to copy the new tinyurl for the alternative icon location into your preferences as it will not automatically replace what you have now.
Added tinyurl for weather.gov alert hyperlink to save characters in the tiles. No acton required to get this one.
Bug fix for 'forecast_text1' and 'forecast_text2' optional attributes.
These two optional attributes were not updating/showing unless the 'Forecast High/Low Temperatures' was selected. This has been corrected to update/show when then 'Forecast Text' option is selected.
Changes to dahboard tiles logo/hyperlinks when using weather.gov for alerts and there is an alert.
In order to save characters (and reduce the likelihood of needed to remove icons because of exceeding the 1,024 tile character limitation), I have removed the hyperlink on the alert message on myTile. The hyperlink on the weather source on the bottom line will remain.
Also, if you have selected weather.gov as your weather alert source, AND there is a current weather alert, the logo and hyperlink on the myTile and threedayfcstTile dashboard tiles will be for weather.gov's site. Otherwise, including if you have selected weather.gov for your weather alert source and there are no current alerts, they will have the logo and hyperlink for OWM's site.
Corrected an issue with Alerts where it would initially display " +null" after the alert immediately upon a new weather alert. That should have clear upon the next update.
