I use weather underground in the Eastern US but I'd love to know if there's a better app.

I also use RadarScope but that's more to see the intensity of nearby rain cells and try to guess for myself their movement and evolution

I find Accuweather MinutecastTM quite good for the Northeast. I'm using Breezy Weather with them as the data source. Sometimes, I found their API data was not as updated as their website/app but most of the time, the API is good enough. Can't stand their app design and data collection.

I know I know they are not nice, just repackaging NWS data blah blah but after testing all other rain prediction services, Accuweather was the most accurate for where I am.

Dark Sky was the best though. RIP

Apple Weather on iOS looks pretty good but I haven't found a good app consuming AW API on Android.

I find Accuweather radar UI pretty good for manual forecasting because I can grab the slider and rapidly move it back and forth to see a timelapse of the precipitation. It's amazing how often huge cells pass to either side of our little town (also in Northeast) without a single drop to our name.
