Apple integrated the hyperlocal darksky stuff into their native Weather app. It had a few growing pains, but it's as good as it ever was, imho.

Agreed.
The one thing I’d like them to improve are the precipitation maps though. They just feel awkward and unreliable.
I've been burned by Apple's rain forecast many times causing me to time my bike ride home at the worst possible time
I don't think DarkSky was any better though to be fair. It's just a hard problem
Alas, that's just the nature of precipitation maps. When radar is the only true source of what's coming down where, you're a the mercy of the laws of physics, and we don't have a large enough array of stations to give hyperlocal-quality coverage to every locality.
Making it vague-ish was a design choice to help curtail complaints of inaccuracy while still giving near-enough-to-accurate information to be useful generally speaking.
