Isn't there a setting to allow GPS to help with the location fix?
How to activate location services on S3
You must activate location services to receive location information or search the map.
In the application list, select Settings, and then Location services.
Change the following options:
Use wireless networks: Set to use Wi-Fi and/or mobile networks to find your location. You may incur additional charges for using mobile networks.
Use GPS satellites: Set to use GPS satellites to find your location.
Use sensor aiding: Set to use sensors to enhance pedestrian positioning when the GPS signal is weak or obstructed. There may be variations between the sensor estimates and your actual location.
Location and Google search: Set the device to use your current location for Google search and other Google services.

Not in the app itself but there is in Location Services. Shouldn't be required to use GPS for the weather app. It seems this is a broader connection issue with the phone not getting a cell tower fix.
