I have a few.
Weather Underground is a free app that runs in the browser (wunderground.com) -- it will switch to the mobile version on your phone. On iPad, it has a very nice companion app, WunderMap, that runs full screen natively and is more compact than the iPad browser app (iPad only). Full screen map with overlays, animation and radar, forecast popup. Very elegant interface. Can locate you using GPS.
WeatherBug is quick and easy, but it's not free. Manual location, full screen map with animation, weather-cams, thumbnail forecast. Orients portrait or landscape automatically. A little buggier than WunderMap. Pop-out forecast from sidebar. Good feature set. Allows you to set more items to visible via Settings menu.
MyRadarPro -- simple quick radar app for iPad. Full screen, animated weather.
NOAA -- browser based. http://forecast.weather.gov or mobile.weather.gov. Free.
If I had to pick one, I'd use i.wunderground.com on the iPhone. It has a good feature set, and the WunderMap is accessible via a single click. The forecast is more accurate than WeatherBug. WeatherBug does show wind speed and direction with a good graphic display, and indicates dewpoint as well, but the radar is buggier and the refresh doesn't always work. But for a buck or two, it's worth trying out a few to see what you like. That's the beauty of apps.
