If memory serves, it came back temporarily, but is now gone again. Annoying. I guess I'll have to get used to checking my phone or the Accuweather website.

Hi, a thread on AppleSupport Communities dedicated to the Weather widget gathered 5 pages of responses since the summer of 2019. The truth is that the Yahoo Weather widget stopped working for good and so has the AccuWeather widget that I downloaded soon afterwards. There're only paid alternatives but that means that those that on macOSes older than Mavericks are left in the lurch. For Mavericks I got Weather guru, in High Sierra I use the stock Notif. Center widget which is an annoyingly worse substitution for the Dashboard weather widget.
Apple made a mistake by totally axing Dashboard instead of re-writing it. Many people used it and the majority thing is missing the goal completely.

BALDERDASH I SAY !!!!!
Here you go, a working widget that uses NOAA servers to replace the bogus Apple one that stopped working....
Using it on my MacBook Pro as you read this!
🙂
Oh yeah, and if you HAVE to use the original Apple widget and are willing to jump through some hoops to get it working, then here you go...
;-)

Nice alternatives, it's a pity though that Fair Weather is for US residents only 🙁

I noticed this too on my own. Perhaps, contacting the developer will do?

"Balderdash" when you're aware about alternatives. I wasn't.

Main thread for this is here if you haven't already seen it: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/i-fixed-apples-broken-weather-dashboard-widget.2225715/
It's not quite one-click install but it shouldn't take more than ~ 10 minutes to set up.
