the weather is gathered from two different sources.
OSX widget is sourced from Accuweather and iPhone is sourced from Yahoo/Weather Channel.

yeah, i know, like I said in my post...
that'll teach me for not reading anything properly.
I've always found the OSX widget pretty accurate so I'd go with accuweather. Plus cross referencing my local weather with my Local BBC weather the one on OSX is far closer to that than the yahoo one.
The most accurate weather widget I have ever found (and by which I judge the accuracy of other forecasts) is the Aviation Weather widget. It is totally accurate and updated very frequently. Just enter the location of the airport nearest to your point of interest.
Not much good on an iPhone though.

The forecast for L.A. this afternoon shows scattered cloud at 20,000 feet and a light breeze, so you should see the sun! Enjoy.
