Meteorologist App For Mac Os
Never found another weather program quite as acceptible as meteorologist.
Keep in mind that meteo scrapes weather.com web pages (i.e., it literally downloads web pages like a browser does and parses the html). Over the years weather.com has changed their pages which will break meteorologist until the maintainer (he wasn't the original author but took it over) catches up. Then everyone comes out of the woodwork from all over the planet saying 'meteo is broken'. Amazing how far and wide this useful utility is used.
Also sometimes the page(s) for your particular location(s) may not be available from weather.com. That is probably what you are seeing these days when it happens to cause meteo to just spin it's wheels. You could verify that fact by explicitly going to weather.com in your browser and checking to see if it can display the pages for your location.
With all this in mind, forgive meteo for tripping over weather.com every so often. Yes, it could do with better error recovery and maybe it would do better with another weather service. But there's really only one guy dealing with this and I think it's in his spare time. There is just so much he can and is willing to do.

I asked a friend that happens to be a meteorologist to give a quick take on his favorite weather apps and here's what he said:
I will review free weather apps using the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. For the best 'all inclusive' weather app, I lean towards Weatherbug (iPhone, Android). There is nothing wrong with AccuWeather or The Weather Channel apps, but for me, Weatherbug has the cleanest interface to quickly get to the information I want without having to scroll or swipe through a bunch of rubbish. These other 'big box' apps seem to push too much detailed information that give the façade of abilities, such as being able to forecast weather events minute by minute. The Weatherbug radar and forecast interfaces are easy to locate and navigate. The widget is very useful with several options of footprint sizing.
For primary standalone functions, I like NOAA Forecast (Android only, but several iPhone apps use NOAA data) and MyRadar (iPhone, Android). Nothing fancy here, just good, reliable, and easy to use apps. MyRadar allows for seemless radar transition between locations on a map with some cool overlays. NOAA Forecast is just that...the National Weather Service forecast from the source of most weather model data.

Meteorologist App For Mac Catalina
I haven't found my perfect iPhone weather app yet, at least not a free one. I used Yahoo Weather for a while, but deleted it a few months ago after an update began using the GPS 24/7 (this appears to have been fixed). I went back to the stock weather app and appreciate its minimalism and lack of ads. I'm trying out a few other apps for localized precipitation data.
Meteorologist App For Mac Pro
Storm (iPhone only) and Radius (iPhone only) are both from Weather Underground and perform the same function with different interfaces. That function is to notify you of nearby precipitation, lightning, and National Weather Service alerts. I have Storm set to use GPS 24/7 to track my current location, but the app hasn't shown up on my battery usage list yet. They both seem to be fairly accurate, and I like getting a notification instead of having to check an app. Dark Sky ($4, iPhone only) is similar app with positive reviews, with the added feature of notifying you before the precipitation begins. I'll give it a try one of these days when I've exhausted other free options.

I like what AccuWeather (iPhone, Android) claims to do with MinuteCast, an easy way to see precisely when it will start and stop raining in your local area. It hasn't been terribly accurate for me, perhaps because precipitation is somewhat unpredictable in San Francisco or as Dan said above claiming to predict weather down to the minute is a 'facade'. The iPhone version has a Today Widget to quickly access MinuteCast.
