I also like the pure NWS data, and will take a moment to shill Deep Weather on iOS, which provides a nice, easy interface to the NWS products for an area.

or if you want nicely wrapped pure NWS data you can get results like https://trytako.com/card/EK32MAxL85E5_KOZy6R3/?dark_mode=tru... via our API

NWS already has it wrapped nicely just supply your lat/long, and offers the XML version too. Example...

I've been looking for something like this but unfortunately I am halfway between two stations and with the mountains here makes enough of a difference that neither one is accurate.
