I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?
It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.
The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.
I was also going to suggest Weather Underground.
The sensors include crowdsourced information from personal weather instruments that people have installed themselves.
There are 3 measuring stations within a 5 min walk of my current location, and a large number of them all across my city.
The only downside I see is that the app is ad supported.
