"When will it rain?" Sensor

Configuration
1

Ive got a couple of weather sensors set up but they dont really do what I want.

When I ask Alexa if it will rain, itll tell me it wont, or it might say itll rain in 20 minutes, or the rain will stop in 30 minutes, that sort of thing.

The Dark Sky app also had similar ‘simple’ predictions for when we can expect rain, though I know that’s not an option for new users.

Is there an integration that can deliver a similar, short term prediction? Or does anyone know of a website that I can scrape with this info?

You can get hourly data from wunderground, if that’s good enough for what you want. Most of their website is driven by API calls that return json data, so if you know how to deal with that, it’s relatively straightforward to integrate.
