Was wondering what weather apps you guys use. I have been using "weatherchannel.com", but it doesn't seem very accurate.

Weather underground or wunderground has a new app out that I really like. A little easier to use and find exactly what I'm looking for.

I've got WeatherBug Elite and AccuWeather and find AccuWeather to be more accurate, but WeatherBug is pretty close. None are perfect all the time though.
Forgot to mention, WindAlert is working pretty good now for wind preditions.

I use WeatherPro that I paid $4 for. Maybe not worth it to some to buy an app but I like the wind speed on it. I also have The Weather Channel and AccuWeather that I use.

All of these sites get there info from NOAA (national oceanagraphic and atmospheric admin). So why not just go the the source. I have found NOAA gives more complete info on things like wind, the most important thing IMO.
NOAA even gives a wind forecast by the hour for the entire day by location. Not always right but a least its something to go on.

NOAA hi def radar app shows current barometric pressure and whether it's rising or falling. Searching the app store for "Barometer" will find several apps that do this, I haven't tried any of those.
The big advantage to the wunderground app over the NOAA app for me is that you can look at one part of the day say 6am to noon and then quickly look at the key weather forecasts (wind, temp, precip) for the next few days during that same time frame. Not necessarily any more or less accurate but easier to see all the important stuff.
