OK, Here we go. Yes the ${goto}'s play a huge role in this:
Here we go with own_window_transparent no and no image:
Started by deleting ALL ${goto 30}'s in the weather section and changing all ${goto 80}'s to ${goto 55}. Combined 2 lines like these to one line by adding a \ at the end of the first line:
${font conkyweather:size=28}${execi 600 sed -n '2p' ~/accuweather_conky_modified/tod_ton}${font}\
${voffset -20}${goto 55}${color1}${execpi 600 sed -n '1p' $HOME/accuweather_conky_modified/tod_ton}: ${execpi 600 sed -n '4p' $HOME/accuweather_conky_modified/tod_ton}°C/${execpi 600 sed -n '5p' $HOME/accuweather_conky_modified/tod_ton}°C
Means the ${voffset -40}'s were changed to ${voffset -20} and made spacing a whole bunch easier all around ... you'll see at the end. Each section still has a blank line to keep the weather font spaces nicely.
I set the default font to:
xftfont Ubuntu:bold:size=8
you had:
that was not used in the entire script.
That meant I stripped out every:
${font Ubuntu:style=Bold:size=8
under TEXT along with the matching ${font}
I also changed:
${font Ubuntu:style=Bold:size=9}
to:
${font Ubuntu:bold:size=9}
for uniformity, they both work.
Once that was done I added your image to the end of the first line after TEXT. ${image} commands can go anywhere because they are positioned by the -p call so I RARELY use a line just for images:
TEXT
${voffset 7}${alignc 3}${font Ubuntu:bold:size=9}${time %a - %d %B}${font}${image ~/accuweather_conky_modified/BG.png -p 35,0 -s 170x530}
Yes, I could have used the blank line after TEXT but you had that there to show you wanted the date lower. Me I would have used two blank lines and deleted the ${voffset 7}.
I should not that some thing above TEXT changed too:

own_window_class Conky
own_window_type conky
own_window yes
own_window_type override ### Added this!
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
#own_window_argb_visual yes
#own_window_argb_value 100
alignment br
gap_x 10 # left-right
gap_y 200 # up-down
# minimum_size 190 380 ### Changed this to what's below.
minimum_size 200 560 ## width, height
maximum_width 200 ## width, usually a good idea to equal minimum width
Since I have "eth0" I see the arrows, out of place ... so on those lines I simply added three spaces before the change in font and size.
${voffset -8} ${color0}${font VariShapes Solid:size=14}Q${font}
to place them about centre with the weather font images.
VERY NICE! I like the icon outside the box look!
But I promised options.....
Enter: the super background script, by londonali1010, dk75 and mrpeachy: draw-bg.lua
Removed the background image and setup the LUA background - totally configurable on the command like - no need to edit the LUA script itself.
You may think, OK, nice but it's not over.....
FOR TODAY ONLY: A two for one special ... use the script twice:
lua_load ~/Conky/LUA/draw-bg.lua
lua_draw_hook_post draw_bg 20 45 10 160 500 0x000000 0.1
lua_draw_hook_pre draw_bg 20 0 10 205 500 0x000000 0.4
Yea, that looks really good too!
Again my thanks to londonali1010, dk75 and mrprachy for a super background LUA script.
Oh my ... and I'm not finished! Look at this: COLOURS!!!! It does colours!
While we can use the script twice when not using a composite manager, with the _pre and _post calls, it can be use multiple times with a composite manager by using a part above text and multiple parts below text.
Here's the conky with the double LUA in the original way. Don't want the LUA background, comment it out and add the background image as seen in the code:

NOTE: If there was an error in the conky I have no idea, it's gone now, But the new "accuw_script" I was given is spitting out an error on the final day. What should read:
reads:
Thats the truth!
