NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.

    I get my weather forecast (and history) directly from them. Their website on my desktop and an app on my android. Why mess with the others when the best is available for free?

        NOAA Weather Free

        Looking for it I see many other apps source data from NOAA.

          Gotcha, I have found that breezy weather is really good, private, and also uses noaa data directly as well as some others, plus there is no adds or tracking with it.
