This is frustrating. My Google News items are slanted toward another city several hundred kilometres away. Don't know how Weather.com settled on that location! I have a feeling that this is a recent change. The message is "Oops, this is not supported on this browser…use Chrome…"

It is possible that they are not liking the older Firefox your running and will not provide service to it. There is nothing that can be done about that.

Use this www.speedtest.net/ to see which main server you get connected to. It is probably the same place that is several 100k away. It should be taking your location from a Hub near you. This should be closer https://mylocation.org/

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

Note that this could be because you are on a no longer supported Mac OS X 10.6 operating system and have to use an older Firefox version.
