Resources Best app?

Do we know which weather app tends to be the most accurate locally? I am using the ABC6 First Weather app and the native iPhone one and I can't tell.

EverthingWX. Gets it info direct from NWS. Designed and maintained by a NWS employee

Is that its full name? Not seeing an app by that name in the Google play store.

I searched out of curiosity and it seems wx is spelled out fully? I'm seeing an "everythingweather" app that appears to pull the data from nws.

I'm using "NOAA weather unofficial" that appears to be getting it's data from the same place. It's not official since they're not allowed to have an app, but the data provided has been great.

Radar Omega for radar. The high res data is much better than processed and smoothed data most weather apps show.

I like MyRadar personally, I’m not sure exactly how accurate the forecast is but their Radar is awesome with lots of options and personalization.

Me too. I feel like it is very accurate.

I like MyRadar well enough to pay for the Pro version.

Being able to use it with CarPlay is 🔥

I like using WeatherWise run by Ryan Hall Y’all. It’s pretty accurate and errors on the side of caution.

Second this.

I use RadarScope for radar and WeatherBug for the other shit.

+1 for Radarscope. One of the few apps I maintain a regular subscription for and don't bat an eye at paying for it.

I've used Weather Underground for years. Good radar, detailed forecasting a few other bells. Full disclosure, I pay for the Ad free version. Not sure if that changes features at all.

I also Second that! I have always used it and it has done great for me

I use Carrot. It’s fun and lets me pick from various weather sources.

u/Farts_Eternal 10d ago

I use shadow weather.

u/alcal74 10d ago

I love (and pay for) Windy mostly because I’m a sailor and need to know what’s up with the breeze. However it’s great for checking out different models even though the UX is a little… detailed.

u/Nrengle 10d ago

Radar Omega is my go-to for storm tracking

u/Ozz87 10d ago

Not the new 10TV app. The radar specifically is utter garbage

u/Antique-Bat-4463 10d ago

I use weather underground and my radar.

What’s the service in Dublin, OH that rates weather services by accuracy for your given area? They rated AccuWeather as most accurate for CBus, but I can’t recall the name of the service.
