I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?
It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.
The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.
Weather Underground allows you to filter down to your zip code. Not accurate down to your exact vicinity, but better than the weather forecast for your entire city.
I was also going to suggest Weather Underground.
The sensors include crowdsourced information from personal weather instruments that people have installed themselves.
There are 3 measuring stations within a 5 min walk of my current location, and a large number of them all across my city.
The only downside I see is that the app is ad supported.
