My go-to weather app

Love this app for San Francisco weather, particularly when the west side can be so different from other parts of the city.

Treasure island is SF too!

Another app that ignores us on Treasure Island/Yerba Buena island.

Would be 5 stars if named properly

Love the app, hate the name; everyone knows our fog is called Lola.
