Or you can inexpensively (free if you don't mind ads) get the app that fetches from the National Weather Service directly. Boring, but highly effective and doesn't ask for a crapload of weird permissions.
For US-based people, this has been my go to: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pandamonium.noaaweather
Pulls the National Weather Service in the US and Dark Sky while abroad (not sure if they know what replacement they're gonna use yet) and it lists the week's weather out in the same no-bullshit presentation you get on weather.gov. Ads are nonintrusive in the free version. Has an option for a persistent notification icon with the current temperature. The pay option is just one of those one-time "toss the developers a few bucks ($3 IIRC) and in exchange have the ads removed" deals.
NOAA Weather is the best. Real weather data that's easy to read. It has actual text discussion for conditions, forecasts and alerts, not just sliders and gauges for next hours weather. Great maps with quick access, tracking for multiple locations including the current one and severe alerts.
Prettiest? No
But it's the best you'll find without dipping into pro level, more complicated apps.
Also, no b.s. fluff like pictures or videos.
Try it.
NOAA Weather skips all the flashy graphics and fluff for solid, textual forecasting and discussion directly from the NOAA. It's updated frequently with an active and responsive developer.
If you just want to know the temperature and whether or not it's about to rain, use Dark Sky.
Well really it's any app that uses weather.gov (noaa) as it's data source. Their website is great if you want some real detailed weather

Nothing to add, but I've been using the NOAA Weather International app by Pandamonium Software for point forecast. Available for both <strong>Android</strong> and <strong>iOS</strong> platforms, I find it easy to use, and it just works. And it is free. (With some features for purchase on the iOS version.)

It pulls the National Weather Service (http://weather.gov) in the US and Dark Sky abroad. Not sure what they're gonna do when the Dark Sky API gets killed. I paid for a license to support them after using it for a long time, but the ads are very non-intrusive and don't shit up the functioning of the app.
I like it for its good persistent notification tray alert so I can see the temperature right next to the time.
I use NOAA Weather, essentially a nice app that uses the NWS's data. It says it's international but I'm in the US, don't know what it uses for data elsewhere.
I use NOAA weather. Pretty sure its just an app that pulls from NWS sites, but it's still from an org I trust over any others. Gives hourly stuff which is nice.

In similar news, you can also bookmark your local NWS office website or city/location to your home screen.
I'm more annoyed by the API being shut down than anything else. Dark Sky is what my favorite weather app pulls when you're out of the US; I hope there's a good replacement for it.
NOAA Weather International for daily forecasts and local information.
MyWeather Radar for radar when the weather gets rough.
I'm trying out Dark Sky to see how it does for alerts. I used to use Pro Weather Alerts for watches and warnings, but development stalled and I think it's been taken off the Play store, a damn shame.
I just use NOAA Weather International. All its doing is getting the pinpoint forecasts from weather.gov, Environment Canada or Dark Sky (depending on where you're at in the world) along with the applicable alerts. It's probably the best all around "just the facts, ma'am" type app for weather. No hype, straightforward interface, and literally more alert types than you could ever want, in a very battery friendly package. Rather worth the $3 to disable the ads and support the dev.
I give the alerts a nice, loud but unique tone so I can hear it well even if I'm on a bike or asleep and the weather radio decides not to work.

NOAA Weather gets it straight from the source and lets you know when the NWS has dropped a new statement within seconds.
There is one- called NOAA weather! I’ve been meaning to add links in on the main page, but here they are:

I use NOAA Weather International. It has a persistent notification displaying current weather conditions, which shows up as the current temperature in the status bar.
