I believe WD is removing the paragraph marks in the forecast without substituting a “space”. Here is an example:
RAW forecast data:
.TODAY…MOSTLY CLOUDY. ISOLATED MORNING SHOWERS…THEN A 30 PERCENT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.
SOUTH WINDS AROUND 10 MPH SHIFTING TO THE WEST 10 TO 15 MPH IN THE
AFTERNOON.
WD converts it to:
today mostly cloudy. isolated morning showers…then a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. highs in the mid 80s.south winds around 10 mph shifting to the west 10 to 15 mph in theafternoon.
.TODAY…MOSTLY SUNNY. WINDY. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S. SOUTH WINDS 10
TO 20 INCREASING TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH IN THE
AFTERNOON.
Becomes:

RAW forecast of:
.MONDAY NIGHT…PARTLY CLOUDY. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THEN
