weather.gov

for those like me who respect privacy, turn back the clock to the day when you could get your local weather forecast with a simple phone call. you didn't have to reveal your exact "location" to a website so that they can sell your address and other personal information to private vendors to pester you with their advertising--e.g., weather.com. 

I finally gave up on weather.com when I couldn't get my local weather forecast without revealing my exact location. I'd enter my town and state and get weather for some other location--goodbye weather.com.

use weather.gov instead of weather.com and you can get your local weather forecast and keep your privacy by not giving up your exact location and other personal information to pesky vendors.
