What happened?

I used to access my personal weather station (PWS) through Weather Underground in this applet. I would put in my lat/lon location, and it would find my station and display the correct data. For the last several weeks (maybe up to a couple months?) it no longer sees my PWS, and displays generic information for my city (which often isn't the same as what my weather station is reading). I can still see my PWS when I go to the Weather Underground website. It seems to have coincided with the most recent changes to location options in the applet. I have tried the various methods of location input (lat/lon, address, etc.), but nothing solves the problem. Is there a way to allow the applet to use my PWS ID instead of other forms of location info? That's how other programs that use Weather Underground can access my PWS.
