PHP Widget and do_shortcode

Question

I'm using PHP Widget which allows PHP code to execute from a widget. I tried using this code to execute do_shortcode but it's not rendering

<?php 
$lat = get_field('woo_maps_lat');
$long = get_field('woo_maps_long');
echo do_shortcode('[forecast location="' . $lat .','.$long. '" measurement=\'C\']');        
?>

If I echo a variable with simply `echo $lat;' it works. So the PHP Widget is working fine. The problem is echoing the shortcode in the widget. I can add shortcoded just fine to a widget but I need to be able to add the php variables where they are.

I tried adding add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); to my functions.php but it's still not rendering properly. Any suggestions?

Thanks

The problem was the double quotes which are needed in normal shortcode usage in posts and pages for some reason when using do_shortcode the double quotes in the attributes where breaking the function. Working code below

<div>
<?php 
$lat = get_field('woo_maps_lat');
$long = get_field('woo_maps_long');
echo do_shortcode('[forecast location=' . $lat .','.$long. ']');        
?>
</div>
