This is basically the problem I solved with my own Android live wallpaper. I drive a Jeep and I was constantly frustrated with getting caught in the rain.
So... I made a live wallpaper for my phone that would show the latest NOAA radar image for my area. I find that I can do a far better job of short term weather prediction with just a quick glance at my lock screen than I was getting by scanning short term forecasts.

(That's the free version. The paid version animates the last 10 frames.)
- the_imp 15y agoI've set up something similar for myself, using WebLiveWallpaper to fetch a PNG of the latest local (Finnish) radar + temperature map. It's rather surprising how easily having a bird's-eye view of the weather sort of fades into the background of your consciousness and becomes an accepted fact. I use my phone often enough that it just feels like I have an extra sense that tells me what the weather's like. Very odd.
