Please tell me that they've improved Siri's Cupertino-elitist attitude towards the weather. Living in Western PA, when I asked her what the weather is going to be she says, "Some not-so-good weather tomorrow. Down to 68 and mostly cloudy". In Pittsburgh, that's beach weather.

Really would like to see a radar map integrated at some point. It's a pretty standard feature, and Dark Sky had a very good one—that was my #1 favorite feature of the app.
They are adding a radar.
