The clearest difference is price: WeatherBug at Free against Storm Tracker° Pro's $1.99. WeatherBug also leads on ratings volume (2.2M vs 1.1K) and chart position (#5 vs #95). Storm Tracker° Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.
