I miss Dark Sky for its impressive "local weather at a glance" accuracy and UX -- but Windy.app is pretty great too, with more details than DS ever had. They're maybe slightly complementary, given Windy.app is more like "prosumer" weather forecasting for nautical purposes, but I highly recommend it.

From my quick research, it seems like people in the sailing community actually prefer Windy.com to Windy.app. (yes, there's a very confusing name clash)

Ventusky and Windy.com are my go to nowadays. They give me a ton of information which enables me to make my own decisions about weather. The ability to change forecasting models really quickly is nice, too. The ventusky android app is pretty decent, too.
