Go to blackberry . weatherbug . com / storm / storm . jad on your Storm and it will let you download this Free application.
weatherbug will actually show you the temp outside from wherever you're standing. Blackberry has unlocked the GPS on the device for applications and this applicationd does a search to find out where you are and updates the weather according to where you're standing at any given moment. You're also able to view maps and do a few other cool things too.
for a free weather application, this absolutely can't be beaten.
Does it pinpoint your exact location or does it just fine the closest weather receiver and use that to give the conditions.

Well, it does pinpoint your location, but of course it needs to use the closest weather station... Not like it can tap into the thermometer in your backyard.
I've just activated a replacement Storm and I can't get Weatherbug to work. I had it working flawlessly on my previous phone, but it keeps freezing the system on the new one. Any ideas?

It really depends on what you need in daily life. Also there isn't a huge selection of apps just yet. DOn't forget you don't get a TON of application memory either, so if you load too many apps, your Storm will become a Snail. Here are mine, hope they help:
Soft Reset: so I can battery pull & keep memory level high
Wall Street Journal, NYT, Bloomberg
Garmin Mobile: works just like the car version
YouTube
Crackberry Launcher (of course!)
BeamReader: reads PDFs
Blackberry Alerts
Viigo
Trying out WorldMate, but might not travel enough to use it
Viigo is my favorite. I've deleted a bunch of the channels I don't use and added a number of them like local news, USA Today, FoxNews, etc.
Also have: Weatherbug and SI, ESPN, Crackberry launchers.
I have had weatherbug on my home screen for majority of the time I've had the phone and love it. Additionally, I just downloaded the Wall Street Journal app since it was suggested here and since it will be useful this semester for my economics class and I am highly impressed with that app as well. The only other downloaded app I have used a little is gCalc and it works well so far.
Dude nobody had slacker on here! That is my most used app right now
1. Slacker. (amazing streaming radio)
2. Google maps (3.0.2 with GPS is so nice)
3. Opera mini/Bolt (browsers that are much faster than the default)
4. Weatherbug. (awesome for being free)
5. Guitar tuner. (handy if you play guitar)
I use these apps every day but am anxiously awaiting the app store!
Hope that helps!

Google Maps
Weatherbug (and for the person who said Weatherbug's forecast was limited, do you know that you can swipe sideways on a day and you get a more detailed forecast...and then you can swipe again and get hour by hour forecast? How is that not detailed enough?)
