The National Weather Service has a widget and not an app. Lightweight and does the job, uses a lot less data loaded ads and such from others. They call it a widget because for some reason they are not allowed to have an app under some rules. In any case I have used the android version and it works nice, just what I need it to. It’s called NWS Now

OTOH, the website is a piece of shit. Ads galore. Those alone are half the loading time. Waiting on Google Analytics this, DoubleClick, that. It reminds me of the ePMP GUI before they made it not need 16 CPU cores and 128GB of RAM anymore.

It sometimes won't update, or only displays a few frames of animation, or only loads part of the radar overlay. On a PC, their site now takes 10-20 seconds to load, and at least for me, the Wundermap keeps sending me to the radar in LA, and uses the CPU Resources of a small computing cluster. And even then still doesn't load correctly. What else is out there that gives good Radar loop and 7-10 day local forecast. I don't care about other things like 'click here to see the worlds 7 worst storms that have trapped kittens who are rescued by lemurs' like weather.com seems to think is the most important reason you go to their site.
