I found this old blog article at a high level on how Dark Sky works... about 12 years old now. I always loved this app and was kind of sad when Apple acquired them... but to have Apple come in and just buy your app out is probably a great feeling for the founders :)

Anyhow, here's the url:

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing! What is even more amazing about Dark Sky is that they did this in 2011, when a lot of the tools I have access to now didn't exist. For Pirate Weather, I avoid working with radar data at all, instead using the 15-minute forecast that the HRRR model provides

Why avoid radar data?
