External Services
Data comes from the National Weather Service (weather.gov) API and is used for presenting current and forecast weather within the 50 U.S. states and its territories. The NWS typically updates its data once every hour. In some cases, information about your location when viewing the weather data may be sent to weather.gov in order to provide current and forecast data for your location.
For more information about the data, its terms of use and privacy policy, visit https://www.weather.gov/privacy and https://www.weather.gov/disclaimer.
