Weather website?

rmdI've been delighted with DarkSky since back before they changed the name. They've since been bought by Apple, which, okay, good for them and improving Apple's iPhone weather app is a good thing. But the DarkSky website is going away.
What websites do folks like for weather? Things I like about DarkSky are the 10 day forecast and being able to expand each day for the "what to expect each hour". A thing I like about the website and their ios stuff is that the ios weather app doesn't currently do is that darksky defaults to showing me when during a day there's expected precipitation.

I'm pretty no frills...I just go to the National Weather Service site for whatever zip code I'm in.
I think wttr.in is cute, but in my experience it's not that accurate.
In my experience, the dude who lets you use
fingerto check the weather has a pretty good service, but I don't think that's the kind of thing you're looking for.no subject

Date: 2022-12-18 02:52 am (UTC)The hourly expected weather portion scrolls let for the rest of the day, Tap a day on the 10 day forecast to see the details for each day, Swipe that screen right or left to change days without going back out to the main screen. And the details screen chart has a dropdown on the upper right for what the chart displays.
I believe a Weather application is coming (or perhaps has come to to the most recent version of MacOS 13.) and has all the above features as well.
They basically folded everything from DarkSky into Weather, with some tweaks on the UI.
The Weather app on the Apple Watch is also pretty good and shows upcoming precipitation by tapping the center once you get into it. (I have its face complication as one of my four.)
