Note that The Weather Channel and Weather Underground are owned by the same company. Editors' Choice winner Weather Underground ($0.00 at ) (Opens in a new window) uses only small, unobtrusive ads in its app. It is, thankfully, now optional, but its continued presence, in addition to banner ads, is annoying.
