Unlike other trees that change colors in the fall, weeping willow trees also turn yellow in the summer, especially when its very hot and dry. It will come back out and be green again. They need water if its very dry in your area.

It may be underwatering but usually yellow leaves are a sign of nitrogen deficiency. Here's something cool about willows though. In the spring, the new shoots have a natural rooting hormone in them. Take shoots and beat them up real good and then soak them in water for a day or two. Water your plants with the water and watch the magic!

If the leaves are solid yellow I'd say it's lack of water. Is it the whole tree or only a percentage of the leaves? As said by J.D, Willows(Salix) love water. If only part of the leaves are yellow I'd say salt burn(but in the ground?). To my knowledge Willows are native to bogs and the river side. So that tells you just how much water they really want. I'd say water water water. It's one of the few plants that I think you can't over water :-)

Unless it's been especially dry where you live, it sounds to me like someone's trying to poison you tree.
Have a soil sample taken from immediately around the tree.
Yellowing leaves sounds like salt.
Willows are very good at finding water sources. Sometimes a little too good, they're notorious for attacking water and sewer lines with their root network.
If this tree is near a property line I'd say your neighbor has a problem with it. For these symptoms to be showing it might be too late to save it. Salt literally starves the tree from the inside out. The leaves are the last to show stress.
What I mean by salt poisoning is one of the best and quickest ways to kill a small tree is to pour rock salt water... like the by product of making homemade ice-cream... around the base of the tree. Within a week you'll start seeing the effects. The tree literally dies of dehydration. The cellular structure inside is destroyed.
