These days I use the "hourly graphical forecast" from the National Weather Service. I've found it to be at least as accurate as Dark Sky and easy enough to display 3 images side by side and refresh periodically to always have a 6-day forecast at hand. The display is more informative and compact than any other weather site or app I've tried. There's also a tabular version that's easy enough to scrape if you want to customize it.

As an example, here's the forecast for zip code 12345: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.8099&lon=-7...

I think (?) the audience for this site is global, so you can't really say "National" weather service. Darksky works around the world (though I presume not truly everywhere). Glad to hear they are extending non proprietary access to their Weather Kit, that's an encouraging move.
thanks for posting. This looks really good.
