I like the app from the National Weather Service. There seems to be a 
version for every place there's a weather station, like an airport. I'm 
on Long Island,
and only a few miles from the Brookhaven airport, which is rather small, 
but has its own weather station. I narrowed down the location, and made 
an icon
(or widget--I think it's an icon in my system) on the screen. Here's the 
version that I use:

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?x=225&y=163&site=okx&zmx=&zmy=&map_x=225&map_y=163#.VwIKS7NpU0R

You should be able to find one not far from wherever you are, as long as 
you're in the United States.
