Optimize Function in Javascript

Question

I am new to javascript, but I managed to write a working xml function :)

I was hoping someone could tell me how to optimize the function. Currently, there is a different function for each state weather, but I was hoping that I could somehow simplify it.

The code is pasted here: http://pastie.org/private/ffuvwgbeenhyo07vqkkcsw

Any help is appreciated. Thank!

EDIT: EXAMPLES OF EXAMPLES OF EXAMPLES OF REVERSE XML-FEEDS:

Function 1 (UV): http://pastie.org/private/jc9oxkexypn0cw5yaskiq

Function 2 (weather): http://pastie.org/private/pnckz4k4yabgvtdbsjvvrq
