I use Accuweather mostly, but I also have an app called Highway Weather. I don't pay the subscription fee, but did pay the one-time $5.00 to remove ads. The annual subscription is $15.00, but I haven't dug into what features get unlocked with the subscription.
What I get for my ad-free version is the ability to pick a destination and a time/date of departure and it shows the forecast along the route. I can add stops along the route, too. I can set it to send me alerts for rain on the route, but I don't often keep that app running as I ride (perhaps I should).
It does not integrate with my nav app so the route it lays is based on Google Maps, but I can program in average speed and it factors in somewhat that I'm on a motorcycle instead of a cage.
I like that I can look at a 200 mile point to point trip and decide whether it's better to leave at 7:00am or 9:00am -- unless I'm riding with Ferret then it's 7:00am no matter what and we stop en route if we get too wet.
