The in-depth meteorological reasoning and details behind your local weather forecast, straight from the experts at NOAA/NWS.
Deep Weather grew out of a desire to provide easy access to some of the most high-quality and high-value, detailed weather sources that are usually overlooked by other weather apps. While many weather sources will tell you the general gist of what the weather is expected to do, Deep Weather provides the deep, detailed meteorological reasoning behind that forecast, along with the various factors that are likely to influence it, as well as potentially change where the forecast goes.
Deep Weather respects your privacy. Deep Weather doesn't track or store your location information, or any other data about you. (See privacy disclosure below). Deep Weather also doesn't display ads, but rather relies on optional Pro subscriptions from our loyal users to pay the bills.
Weather details not commonly found in other apps in a convenient, easy-to-read package. Provides a deeper understanding of your weather forecast.
Deep Weather automatically compiles an easy-to-read version of the most recent National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussion, advisories and warnings for your location.
The National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussions provide detailed information and background about the weather patterns and observations that are part of the most recent forecast model. They represent the "Story behind the weather story," a glimpse behind the scenes of your current forecast, and provide lots of weather forecast detail not found anywhere else.
Included sections:
Aviation Weather
Fire Weather
Climatology
Marine Weather
Beach Forecast
Watches, Warnings
Short Term Forecast
Long Term Forecast
To help provide a more visual picture, Deep Weather also provides easy access to a curated list of the most up-to-date weather graphics: National Forecast Chart, Surface Analysis, IR Satellite, Current Radar, Pacific and Atlantic Ocean surface analysis, 500mb graphical forecasts and more.
For Pro subscribers/owners, Deep Weather includes live animated radar rendered from National Weather Service source data.
In addition, Deep Weather provides localized 7-day extended forecasts from the National Weather Service for any location in the United States and its territories.
Deep Weather provides great value in helping you anticipate and adjust to changes in the weather that you might not have been aware of if limited to other weather sources. By understanding the factors and assumptions that are part of the official forecast and how changes in those factors could affect the outcome, you are armed with a much deeper and more flexible understanding of the weather around you. This is highly valuable in aviation, sailing, long distance hiking and any other outdoor endeavor where changes in the weather can have great impact.
Use the map view to select any National Weather Service Forecast Office and receive the latest forecast discussion for that area.
The discussion is broken up into sections for you, and the text itself formatted in a much more easily read format than the raw original.
These discussions and weather graphics are amended and updated several times per day, so you can follow how the weather forecast is changing in real time, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the thought that goes into forming the forecast.

What's New in NWS Weather
5.0
November 24, 2024
New major Feature for Pro subscribers/owners: Real-time ad-free animated radar!
The radar imagery is based on real-time NWS radar data, and will animate over the past two hours.
Thank you Pro subscribers for your support!
This app just repackages data that is offered for free by the US National Weather Service, mainly the “Area Forecast Discussion” issued by your local Weather Forecast Office. I liked the app because it makes the AFD more readable. But, I don’t want to give this app access to my location, and setting a default WFO requires a paid subscription. Instead, I found an alternative way to get the forecast discussion in a more readable format and uninstalled this app. I don’t think this app should be a subscription, especially not when it’s just displaying data that is available for free. A one-time app purchase would be more reasonable for this kind of app.

Response from developer
While GPS access makes things easier, it's not required. You can search for any location's forecast using the Search feature instead. The Pro upgrade is not required to access the data you mention. I provide all that data for free, without ads. Pro unlocks further features such as animated radar, favorites, weather glossary, default home station, etc, and supports updates and new features.
