I use weather underground for my personal server (developer accounts are free up to 500 calls a day...). We used them for work to get weather data for lots of locations hourly ("drizzle" plan). Very reliable.
api: http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/docs
National weather service, http://weather.gov is my goto weather forecaster, but at the time I wrote the code, getting hourly data based on lat/long for several thousand locations (some outside the US) was problematic. and XML..

Aww I love this app except their ads. I'm not sure what IBM's plans for this is.
That's what I love about wunderground. I actually have an Ambient Weather ws-1001-wifi weather station at my house, and I'm part of wunderground's weather station network. Whenever I pop open the weather app on my iPhone, it shows the weather in my backyard which I love.
