It's not clear to me what the first entry in the configuration is actually doing but clearly you need to enter the correct lat/long in both entries.
For clarity, what I'm referencing above is that each location in the app configuration screen seems to have 3 entries:
1 - Latitude,Longitude(to 4 decimal places)
2 - Fetch Forecast Zone and Station
3 - Location Display Name

I am not clear what you mean by "the second entry"?  if you mean Location2,  that is for a 2nd weather location (which [depending on the skin] you can swtich between. (you can put in up to 5 locations at present)

For each location there are 3 entries. I listed them at the bottom of my post as 1, 2, and 3 for clarity. So when I said "the second entry" I meant #2 in the list. The second entry for one single location.

Number 2:  "Fetch forecast Zone and Station" is a button to fetch (or re-fetch) some zone and forecast center details from weather.gov for that lat,long (the hidden variables that are actually used in the api calls to fetch the actual forecasts), as well as fetch a list of nearby weather stations to use for the current conditions (which it then shows as a pop-up for you to pick which one you want to use).   If you don't click it and fetch that data, you should see a pop-up the first time kodi actually tries to fetch weather from that location when the plugin notices it doesn't know which weather zone you want.  Also, if you edit and change your lat,long, you would need to click it again to fetch the new zone information for that location.

Note that because of the way the settings behave, when you type the latitude,longitude, that does not actually get saved until you click OK on the settings dialog, so if you immediately click "fetch forecast Zone and station", it will still see the previous lat,long that was saved in the settings (or a blank) when it tries to fetch the zone/station info.  I may turn the lat,long entry into a pop-up dialog for that reason, so that I can use the scripting to actually save the value before it tries to do the fetch.

Number 3:  is just the label to use for the location (initially grabbed from weather.gov with the zone when you fetch the location data) which you can then change.   For example, instead of "TwoTownsOver, TX" that weather.gov uses for the name of your general area, you can name it "Home" or "Grandma's House" or "Work", or "MyActualTown", which then gets sent to the skin as the name of the location.   It has no effect on the actual weather data returned.  It's just what you want to call it, which becomes more useful if you put in several locations that you switch between.

Thanks for the explanations. You may want to rethink how entries 1 and 2 work.

The latest beta in my repo has revamped the settings.  you now get a separate dialog for lattitude, and longitude, which hopefully will make it less confusing.  And it should pass on the right data into the "pick your weather station dialog" right after that when you enter (or update) a location.
