Need Help Adding Weekly Data To Stormy Weather App in Swift

I am trying to add a table to the Stormy weather app to display weekly data. I created a new swift file to display the daily data from DarkSky API, but I am having trouble figuring out where to put the date formatter and how to request the date from DarkSky. I JUST want to have a label that displays the day of the week. This is what I have so far (I think I'm way off).

I have no idea where to put these lines of code:

    let time = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 1453363200) // -> "Jan 21, 2016, 8:00 AM"
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "EEEE"

    let day = formatter.string(from: time)

This is modeled after the CurrentWeather model provided by Pasan in the tutorial.

struct WeeklyWeather: Codable {
    let temperatureHigh: Double
    let temperatureLow: Double
    let time: Int
    let day: String
    let icon: String
}

I also have in another swift file called DailyWeatherViewModel to display this weekly data:

struct WeeklyWeatherViewModel {
    let temperatureHigh: String
    let temperatureLow: String
    let time: String
    let icon: UIImage

    init(model: WeeklyWeather) {
        let roundedTemperatureHigh = Int(model.temperatureHigh)
        self.temperatureHigh = "\(roundedTemperatureHigh)º"

        let roundedTemperatureLow = Int(model.temperatureLow)
        self.temperatureLow = "\(roundedTemperatureLow)º"

        self.icon = model.imageIcon

        // add time/date initializer

    }
}

I'll take a look at this when I get a chance. In the mean time, feel free to snoop around my own variation of Stormy that I built: https://github.com/calebkleveter/Meteorologist
