>wttr.in is a good service you can get on nearly any device.

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.

May I ask where you live?

(If I had more free time, this would be a fun GIS challenge.)
