Bug in weather plugin?

As an alternative, I can write a script in my "/etc/network/if-up.d"
directory that would update the weather plugin properties. The only
trick is that I don't know of a way to force the plug-in to reload its
settings from the command-line if I update the rc file (currently:
~/.config/xfce4/panel/weather-11921178781.rc
) file.

Is there any means to automate this?

Thanks,
Andrew
