wttr.in isn't going to show me live video of my friends being rescued from a storm 2,000 miles away, like The Weather Channel did.
I use it daily, but it only regurgitates NWS data, and data that's pretty vague for a vast area at that.
There's a location about 20 miles from where I am now that is routinely 40 degrees cooler than where I am now because of altitude change. My home location is always 5-15 degrees cooler than my work location. The Weather Channel shows that. wttr.in doesn't.
(If I had more free time, this would be a fun GIS challenge.)
IIRC, I found something somewhere under weather.gov, but it was difficult/tedious to use on a smallish android phone; the associated API seemed more promising, but for the moment I'm either driving, decompressing or sleeping.
But, google play suggested other apps, so I'll try them. I appreciate your pointer.
Their mobile site isn't the greatest, but it is usable. I've used it for trip forecasts before, it works well. Edit:one great thing is no ads, weather.com is unusable w/o an ad blocker, but this being a monthly payment=no ads to deal with.
Edit: By using '~' to use the search/lookup feature, and adding the state to be specific. The '~' will cause a line below the weather to appear, telling you where it found.

Location: Denver, Bremer County, Iowa, 50622, United States of America [42.6713719,-92.3374045]Funny because my next thought was "Heartbleed, Spectre, Shellshock, ...". It seems people will discuss threats more when there are catchy names attached to them. Otherwise "mitigated CVE-XYZ" or "that storm was wicked, eh?" is just another boring day at the office.
wttr.in is a good service you can get on nearly any device.
