If you can't figure out why you can't get the date widget at the top of the stock launcher to change into the weather widget, it's likely because the stock launcher needs to be updated. Google added that neat feature in October, apparently sometime after the software was completed.
When you go through an update all of the preloaded apps, it doesn't automatically update the launcher itself. You have to search the store for the pixel launcher and update it manually. After you update, the date widget should turn into the weather widget.
You may have to toggle your location Quick Settings toggle in order for it to work.
EDIT: After a reboot the widget reverted to just the date. I tried to retrace my steps to change it back and failed. I was successful only after swiping left into google now, going to settings, then "settings" under google assistant, Personal info, weather units, and toggling back and forth from Celsius and Fahrenheit. This is something that i remember doing the first time, but did not think it had any impact. Bottom line, this may not actually be a sure fire way to make the widget change unless someone else confirms it, and I think the way google implemented that widget is horrible and they need to fix it in a later update.
EDIT 2: Daniel Padilla has also found that "You can also bring weather back by pulling down on Google Now screen to refresh it."
