The get_metar() function is attempting to parse the name of the
locality out of the first line of the decoded METAR. Using the
verbose output option you can see why this won't work:
fu...@cthulhu:~$ weather -viKMJX
Station name not available

KT):0
Visibility: 5 mile(s):0
Sky conditions: overcast

Dew Point: 39 F (4 C)
Relative Humidity: 86%
Pressure (altimeter): 30.06 in. Hg (1017 hPa)

ob: KMJX 121455Z AUTO 06010G17KT 5SM OVC004 06/04 A3006 RMK AO1 54000
cycle: 15
Since I hadn't seen this on other METARs in the past, the parser
(which could stand some beefed-up error handling anyway) doesn't
account for it. I'll work a fix for this into a new release and post
a patch to this bug.
