That's correct, they won't.

A "custom homescreen" is overkill, IMHO; it would need to be a full-
blown home screen replacement simply to implement your one widget. You
might investigate whether any of the popular home screen replacements
already in the market would support your functionality, and latch onto
them.

Personally, I'd advise using live wallpaper, in fact I think a weather
live wallpaper could be quite cool. Only real disadvantage is that
many devices (essentially all first-generation Android phones,
regardless of OS version) can't use it, which does limit the market
quite a bit in the near term.
