NWS servers have been returning 502 errors and also taking around 8 to 9 seconds to complete requests. Unless I'm just unlucky they seem to be kind of unreliable. In the future I'd like to add API options to pull weather from sources like AccuWeather.

Timeout length and max number of requests has been increased, which has drastically reduced the amount of network errors. However, the requests still tend to be pretty slow.
