Favorite Weather Apps
I'm looking for your favorite weather apps.
Goal is to find a really good Radar Storm Tracker showing track, speed & time to users location.
Also interested in tidal & surf apps that would help in planning yakking trips.Ragnar Benson:

I use Scoutlook for hunting and freshwater fishing. I'm not sure about the features you mentioned since I have the "free" version.

I like Radar Now for a more reliable radar, but there is now tracking for it. I also like MarineWeather(I have the free version but they have the Pro version which is better). You can pull up everything, radar, tides, buoys, wave action, weather reports. Perfect for the fisherman in mind.

i am a fan of weather underground. there's an app, but you can kick the tires at...Weather Forecast & Reports - Long Range & Local | Wunderground | Weather Underground
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
