this service can be in a sense recursive: 

http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/GeoLookupXML/index.xml?query=Canada

results in 2 results (Canada the country and Canada, KY), and you would have to continue to drill down. More on this later as we make the process simpler.

...Gusty north winds to develop over the Colorado River valley
late tonight and Wednesday...
...Lake Wind Advisory in effect from 4 am PST /5 am MST/ to 10 PM
PST /11 PM MST/ Wednesday...
The National Weather Service in Las Vegas has issued a lake Wind
Advisory...which is in effect from 4 am PST /5 am MST/ to 10 PM
PST /11 PM MST/ Wednesday for Lake Havasu...Fort Mohave...Lake
Mead National Recreation Area and the upper Colorado River valley.
A cold front moving across the area this evening will allow for
north winds to develop overnight. North winds between 20 and 30
mph with gusts to around 40 mph are expected late tonight and into
Wednesday which will create the potential for hazardous boating.
A lake Wind Advisory means that winds in excess of 25 mph will
create hazardous boating conditions on area lakes. The strong
winds will create choppy waters and generate large waves which
could capsize or swamp small craft.
Boaters should exercise caution if venturing out onto area lakes
during the advisory period...or consider postponing their
activities until after the winds subside. Avoid the open water
and stay close to shore or in protected coves and inlets.

side and the lower Colorado River valley.
A strong cold front will move across the district overnight with
north winds forming by late tonight. North winds will then
continue into Wednesday with winds between 20 and 30 mph with
gusts to around 40 mph possible during the day.
These winds along with afternoon relative humidity values around
15 percent or lower and the high or greater fire danger rating
along the Colorado River valley has prompted the issuance of this
Fire Weather Watch for Wednesday.
Although the winds will remain gusty into Wednesday evening...and
locally overnight Wednesday...relative humidity values will
increase during the evening and raise above the critical 15
percent by early evening.
A Fire Weather Watch means that critical fire weather conditions
are possible. Listen for later forecasts and possible red flag
warnings.
