jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I have looked through the documentation, read the forum, searched the net and cannot figure out how to get json data into my grid.

The data currently looks like this:

{"page":1,"total":24,"records":473,"rows":[{"id":"0","cell":[" Weather Data Method","Using testtag.php which is the traditional method to get the weather information data from Weather Display."]},{"id":"1","cell":["apparentsolartemp","22.5"]},{"id":"2","cell":["apparentsolartempc","-5.3"]},{"id":"3","cell":["apparentsolartempf","22.5"]},{"id":"4","cell":["apparenttemp","22.5"]},{"id":"5","cell":["apparenttempc","-5.3"]},{"id":"6","cell":["apparenttempf","22.5"]},{"id":"7","cell":["avgspd","0.0 mph"]},{"id":"8","cell":["avrainapr","1.15"]},{"id":"9","cell":["avrainaprnow","3.24"]},{"id":"10","cell":["avrainaug","0.38"] ...

I have tried other formats.

colModel:[
        {name:'id',index:'id', width:55},
        {name:'Item',index:'item', width:290},
        {name:'Value',index:'value asc', width:300}
    ],
    rowNum:20,
    rowList:[20,40,60],
    pager: '#pager2',
    sortname: 'id',
    viewrecords: true,
    sortorder: "asc",
    caption:"The Information"
    });
    jsonReader: { root:"rows", cell:"cell" };

I suppose the problem is that the column names are not in the json data so jqGrid cannot find the data, but I don't see how to get them into the json.

Any suggestions wlll be appreciated.
