I'm curious if anyone has a certain weather app they use that seems to be more suitable for shooting.

Well, I use a couple of apps to get the same forecast which is or not the same. LOL. I use this as an average for the day. If you want really really local detail, try the weather app Wunderground. However, though localized it is a general for the area you are in. And I say any weather app is a ballpark estimate for exactly where you are.

I use a weather rock. It hangs on a rawhide strap. If it's swinging its windy . If it's wet it's rainy.

I use the “Windy” app for wind conditions and forecasts. Works well in general, but I’m in a small valley in the foothills and often have swirling or changing wind, rarely steady.

I use/like WeatherBug. You can add any city you want. It gives NOW, HOURLY, 10 DAY AND MAPS. The NOW window also gives wind velocity. Hope tis helps

We have been through several, looking for the most beneficial one. Dark Sky seems to be reliable, and we do use the wind numbers for shooting outside.

Dark Sky is as good as any. Tap the temp. at the top of the screen for all current conditions. Pinch the radar down to see radar for eight days. Temp. and humidity closely match my home weather station readings. Wind closely matches my Kestrel.
NOAA is a good backup check.

I'm just looking for general conditions with a little more of an interest to wind. Something with a ballpark daily figure out to a week or so away. I know a lot of any forecasting boils down to guessing. At home where I reside I'm limited to shooting 75 yards or under. My farm (where I can shoot longer distances) is 9 miles away. Before I go through packing up, I like to check the weather to see which day will be more suitable for shooting. For me, high wind and gusty wind is not suitable to shoot in. Temperature, I'm not concerned about as much. I hope that answers your question
