iPad app for weather
I use accuweather and BeWeather. BeWeather just updated yesterday, officially supporting the iPad. Looks nice too.

Might be time for you to buy a weather station then!
It seriously is crazy nuts how many people have them here.
I decided to try it again and someone just installed one two blocks from my house!
So I can get the info from their station free through this app? Seems too good to be true.

hmmmm, it's several degrees off from what Yahoo Weather says meaning it's several degrees away from what most other weather apps say. Are these noted to be accurage?

Hahaha.
I'm sure people like to have access to other people's readings too.
All the weather stations here are saying something different to what TWC, AccuWeather, Yahoo, and the NOAA are saying right now. It could be off, you'd have to compare it to some of the others around though.
My new favorite is Storm by the same guys who do WunderStation. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/storm-by-weather-underground/id955957721?mt=8 Definitely one for us guys who watch TWC and weather reports in general.
Today's update introduced this new feature that lets you draw on the map, both distance and just scribbling. I can't wait to show my brother this.

WunderMap is Awesome!
While you're in iTunes also look at "WunderMap" by Weather Underground. It's fast, accurate and has very localized reporting. There are 3 stations within 1/4 mile of my house. It's map scrolls to anywhere in the world, and quickly gives current temps. pinch zoom in and out, and many maps to choose from like precipitation, fronts, fires, etc. It even has reports from buoys at sea and in large lakes if they have a weather station on board. If you touch any temp dot, it brings up forcast and other data like barometric pressure, humidity, dew point, etc.

Well I've been using WeatherMate and it hasn't let me down so far. From an intuitive user interface to accurate localized weather forecasts, it has everything what you should be looking for in a weather app. The weather maps feature is quite amazing containing tons of information. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weather-mate-pro-live-current/id608515289?mt=8
Sorry to bug you, but what's the difference between Weather underground and WunderStation? Same company, same stations.
With Wunderstation, you can view data from LOCAL PERSONAL weather stations. Some cities will have more than 1 weather station and you have the option to choose which station closer to you for more accurate data for wind speed, temp, etc.
They all use the WU network of stations.
Weather Underground is for current conditions. Works like TWC, AccuWeather, WeatherBug, DarkSky, etc.
Storm is for storm threats and focuses more on showing you stuff on a radar.
WunderStation emulates a weather station.
Multiple apps for multiple occasions.

Thanks! WunderStation offers so much information, I love it!
