I'm a bit of a weather fanatic too so I've
Got two on my homepage: i.wund.com (weather underground) for details, forcast, & discussion...and apple. accuweather.com for animated radar. Actually they both have animated Doppler but accuweather defaults to it. Both web apps are free and are extremely accurate.

I'm a big fan of MyWeather Mobile, but I really don't remember paying $10 for it. I like the full animated radar feature and contact level lookup options.

I use WeatherEye (free)

I tried TWC but the UI is a bit clunkier and uglier, IMO.

for example to check weather for another city in TWC you have to first click the location button, then click a second time on your choice, vs WeatherEye or the built in weather app where you can simply swipe to flick through all your favourite cities - much faster and more convenient. If you only care about 1 location, then this won't matter to you, but it's a big difference if you like to easily check several cities.

The screens are less cluttered and better formatted in WeatherEye than TWC too, making it easier to at a glance see what you need - has something to do with their choice of fonts, colour and layout.

I am a sucker for good design, so that is what made it stand out of the pack for me.

So has anyone compared the accuracy of the free apps yet? It would be cool to see a side-by-side comparison.
