I use WU at home. IBM has sold it, so don't blame them if you don't like it. On my phone I use Weather&Radar. In the car on android auto I can pull up a moving map screen of weather radar which is great when traveling and storm activity is occurring. You can see the storm cells relative to your travel

The Apple weather app has been wrong several times predicting rain the last few weeks.
I’m trying to spray RN43 and no rain the the forecast and 4 hours later it’s raining?
Looks like 4 hours exposure was enough as it’s all turning brown.
Planned to spray today but it’s wet and drizzling…

I don’t remember it being so off before…
The precip total also showed zero yet I had standing water in pots and windshield wipers
It was very minute but still enough…

That's the beauty of your own forecasting. On the left under select cycle you can go back in time and see if the model runs remain consistent hour to hour or bounces around on the timing of rain. If it bounces it will be a crap shoot when the rain comes in. But just like any forecast mother nature is always in control. Last year I needed to spray after work. Everything was great. Get home go right to spraying. No rain until 5 and models were consistent. Well that didn't happen. Started to drizzle at 1 with rain by 3. The pre got in but roundup was not rainfast yet. Sprayed at 11 and needed 5 hours. All an app is good for is it tells you a percentage but doesn't really show what it is looking like as it moves through. The radar is only good couple hours previous to couple hours future. I'm planning 48 hours in advanced and the day of work have 18 hours of future forcast updated hourly. It took over 10 years to get where I'm at but in those 10 years have had hay rained on once and that was an extremely rare event where I learned that I need to pay attention to past model runs. There is a story in that event.

Around here you can search multiple weather forecasts until you find the weather you want. "No rain forecast today, sunny and warm" as you look outside thru the rain with a sweater on

I use Accuweather. Just weather info without the hand-wringing you get with weather channel.
