In my version, I never really changed the way the displays worked,
especially with the older players (SB2/3, Boom, etc.) - honestly never
spent the time to understand all the details :-)
Therefore, nothing significant should have changed. In moving to
wunderground, there are some fields which are duplicate (I believe)
since the data ONLY comes from wunderground (where before there were
fields specific to wunderground vs. weather.com).  I did, however, add
some NEW fields based on additional data which was added (moon set/rise,
moon phase).
Some of the issues you are seeing may be the way the particular weather
station is reporting the information. You might try pointing to a
different weather station.  When you say wunderground.com's website -
are you accessing the same weather station from the website which you
have selected in SDT?  
Also, from Midnight to early AM, I have to save the predicted nighttime
low temperature from the last pre-midnight query, since after midnight,
the predicted low is for the NEXT night - that can lead to actual low
being lower than predicted low.
You might try the earlier suggestion of running the wunderground.com
call from a web browser (see my previous post) and seeing what it
returns - the json data is pretty easy to figure out, and you might see
something there.
