Then use thermometer.app
Thanks man,
Yeah this seems like the best one so far. Wish it had a forecast of the whole day and a couple days in the future
Then use thermometer.app
I'd like to know, too. I've been using Meteo (Meteorologist), and it works pretty well... but I wouldn't mind a fancier-looking interface, and I really miss having an animated Doppler radar. Meteo has a snapshot of the Dopper, but seeing it in motion is a lot more informative.
MenuWeather looks like it has the features I'm looking for, but I'm not sure about the interface...
Thanks, I appreciate the offer. It looks like to get the radar information you need to open the application itself, and can't just get it through the menubar drop down - is that true? It's not a deal-killer, but I'm curious.I have been using MenuWeather and am very happy with it. It does having animated radar for national, regional, and local. If there is something in particular about the interface you would like me yo check for you, I would be glad to do that.
Bumping an old thread. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good weather app that sits in the menu bar and uses weather data from Wunderground. All I can find on the Wunderground website is the widget. Since they've made their API available to developers, I'm sure that there is an app out there matching my description.

Also, based on the reviews in the Mac App Store there are two other concerning points. First, a number of complaints focus on instability of the program under OS X 10.8, with people needing to force-shutdown and such. Have you experienced anything like that? Also, someone else wrote that the update frequency can only be set to 45 minutes at the fastest. Is that true, too?
The thing with Living Earth is that it forces the computer to use the NVIDIA graphics card always. I'm trying to find a new weather app to keep the integrated graphics on to conserve battery.
I'm using Temps for a while now and I really love this app. Mac App Store link.
The last version brought a completely re-designed interface, it looks really great now.
You can add up to 12 locations. One click on the menu symbol and you see all your locations with current temperature and condition image. Move the mouse over one of the locations and the detail view with more weather infos and a 3 day forecast appears.
For me it's the best menubar weather app!
i just tried Temps on your recommendation and found it to be a complete waste of $3.00. the server's continually down. if you want to make sure your Mac is still able to display spinning rainbow beachballs, Temps is great for that. but if it's weather you want, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Sorry, but that's not true. I'm using Temps for about a year nearly every day now - without the problems you are describing in your post. Try it again, I'm sure it works.
I used Meteorologist for a bit over a year and ultimately switched to Temps because Meteorologist keeps creating a ghost window whenever Mission Control was activated. There wouldn't be a window, but "Meteorologist" would show up and take up space. I believe the change log indicated that this problem was fixed with OS X 10.7 or 10.8, but I had it with 10.8 and it continued with 10.9.whoops, nope, never mind: Temps, for all its beauty, seems to be buggy and poorly designed. right after i posted the above praise for it, it crashed when i tried to close its About window, and then i discovered the developers forgot to include a Quit command (unless it's at the bottom of the Preferences window that can't be made to fit onto my screen). so for me it's back to being a toss-up between Meteorologist (not pretty and doesn't support location detection, but solid and displays humidity in the menu bar) and MenuWeather (awkward interface and doesn't display humidity in the menu bar, but does support location detection). and methinks my personal winner is Meteorologist, until something comes along that does everything i want and does it without crashing.
