Also, I have my own weather station that feeds weather underground and weathercloud.com every 6 seconds and this data is fed into my sprinkler system to determine when to turn on the system and how long to run each station. This works perfect.

I like WGN’s iPhone App. It gives you a localized radar map with precip, clouds, lightning & windspeed overlays as options. Theres daily forecasts for about 10 days, 4 days of hourly (very accurate) forecasts & a future-cast radar option thats been accurate no matter where I’ve used it in the US. You can set various locations so it will adjust everything based on which of your locations you’ve selected. It’s very handy & it’s free—although it does have a push-fed (very bright white) ad which displays in tge center of the screen each time you re-initiate the App for a few seconds, before you get access to everything. I just put my hand over their bright white ad or turn my phone upside down for a few seconds until it disappears. Ive used the WGN App all over the US, not just in Chicagoland. As long as you have a cellular connection, it’s good but it wont help you if you’re too remote to get a signal, like most Apps. Wish we would get StarLink Satellite Internet nationwide. Hello, Elon?
