Best weather app?
Best weather app for motorcycling?

For Canada, I find "WeatherCAN" easy, light and quickly informative. Available on Android and iOS.
It won't cover U.S. points of interest, but the active radar will dig down into much of the U.S.

Being in the outdoor event business, I use Weather Underground and Weather Bug. One is usually more optimistic about rain than the other, and I sort of average the results

I use Accuweather app on my phone which I find pretty accurate

I use Accuweather as well and find it best for short range forecasting. For long range (more than a few days) I've found Dark Sky to be the best but it has just been integrated into Apple Weather as of the new year.

When I went outside just now, I looked up and my face got wet, so that works, too.

We used to have a radio DJ here in Cinti that when it came time to give the weather forecast, you could hear a window opening up, and he'd stick his head out and say "warm and sunny" or "wet and cold" or "looks like it might snow" lol

Seriously, we are so lucky to have that kind of technology today. Once upon a time, long, long ago, I rode my KZ 750 to work wearing my usual Air Force short-sleeve blue shirt and low-quarter shoes, light weight blue trousers and a helmet for safety. Didn't even wear gloves back then. Just before quitting time, I looked outside and saw the sky toward my house was black. I got very, very wet. Poured water out of those shoes when I got home. A weather app is a good thing.

lol - I reckon many of us can relate to that when we were all young.
