Default Weather Radar app

What is the best Weather radar app , I need one that can zoom to the same sort of levels that I could get with Accuweather on my Windows Mobile phone. I currently am using Radar Now , which I like because it is very fast and gives me a good overview on the radar , but , there are times when I need to be able to zoom in much closer , with good definition than i can with that app.

TIA

Dan

p.s. This is my first Android O/S phone , so I am trying to come up to speed on what all is available for them.

i really like weatherbug elite. it has a great looking interface, and the radar is top notch. i use the weather channel app though for video forecast, if i need one of those
If you need help, try IRC #Cyanogenmod in freenode.net
Someone may be able to help you there. I will try, if I'm on.

i use that and weatherbug.

But when I am at my sons baseball game and want something to check the weather quick because I see clouds coming.. I whip that out and show it to the head coach.

I use WeatherBug Elite, but I have also used MyCast weather in the past. MyCast was a little faster, but WeatherBug just destroys it in features. WeatherBug also has a radar map widget.

I too was very interested in a radar weather app. I tried a ton of free and pay apps and finally settled on Weatherbug Elite. Great interface, fast, great features, and detailed weather radar.

Spend the $2, you won't be sorry.

Definately Rainy Days. I have tried all of the widgets and apps related to radars and by far its the best. Sometimes doing one thing and doing it well is just what you need.

Thanks for this, it's much better than radar now. I've hooked it up to beautiful widgets so I don't really need the extra forcasting from palmary weather.
