Reliable weather apps?

Thanks for the info.

I have one plateau I hunt that if I walk in and the wind seems EXACTLY wrong when in the valley, it actually means it will probably be perfect up top. The plateau causes a curl over, just like how coral reefs in the oceans cause barrel waves.
That valley is in a wind eddy. I was confused for many years by wind eddies. They can so frustrating, but they can also be really valuable under certain conditions. I can almost guarantee that somewhere in a wind eddy will have an up-draft. Those are great for not having odor busts, from the tree. Still have to worry about residual ground odor along your access trails. Reducing ground odor is a whole other discussion.
 
One more thing about using the "compare" feature on a phone...On my Samsung, I had to use smaller font setting in order to have the "compare" button to show on my screen. I don't alway have reading glasses with me so I had my font setting on a larger size. That setting had the compare button 99% off my screen and not clickable. Check your font size if you are having trouble with seeing "compare".
And I realize not everyone reads every post in a thread so I will repeat...
Use Windy.com not Windy.app
 
OK, so as @Allegheny Tom commented on, there is another Windy App in the Apple App Store that displays the same info as Windy.com, except you have to pay to access most of the models and features. If you want the correct Windy app, when you go to the Windy.com site that Tom referred to it should suggest the right app for you to download, at least if you're using an apple product, not sure about Android. I have set mine up now and it is pretty dang awesome! Many thanks to @Allegheny Tom for the recommendation, expect to get a lot of use out of this next season!
