I still use it, mostly because I've been using them for nearly two decades and they've been the most consistently accurate in forecasting for my area.

But since the IBM acquisition, the app has been so slow to load.

Just use the National Weather Service. It is where they get all of their data. They just bundle it up and sell it.

The thing about weather underground is that it's the only way to see weather data online from my (and others) personal weather station. As far as I know anyway, not sure if there's an alternative.
