Best Weather App??

Nothing I've tried uses much battery. I use Weatherbug now with widget that updates once per hour. I was using this, which lets you update between certain hours, which may help, but I don't think WB updates when the screen is off anyway. You just need to make sure other things are not updating more frequently (like don't "follow me"). WB isn't even on my most used list in Battery status, which means it's under 1%. It only uses power when it updates, and that only takes about 10 seconds. I just checked it with Power Tutor and hit 430 mW during the update, but after it updates uses no power. Also, don't use "My Location", input your city so it is not searching with 3G or GPS.
