Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend

To add to this, very much the red icon windy app, not the blue one.

It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.
They have the same name but it's too very different experiences.
The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.

Yeah, I like the map view so much better than the way forecasts are usually given because it gives much better context. You can see the cold and warm fronts and the various storms in the area and watch the forecasts hone in on the truth as time passes and they need to rely less on intermediate forecasts as they get replaced with actual data.
