is there A Weather radar app for android auto?

It would be nice to be able to check weather radar when traveling without unplugging your device from the vehicle

While this doesn't do what you want exactly, you can just hit your voice key and ask Google different questions about the weather and it will give you the answer by talking to you.

Nope, and I don't think you will. (Has to do with animations on the screen, which is a no-no for Android Auto.)

I would really love to see some sort of overlay in Google Maps, though. But, again, doubtful.

Without one Android Auto is actually behind every built in system that OEM's ship. Seem an odd position to take. Animation can't be it as the map is indeed animated, limited, and zooms in/out based on speed. Turns to follow direction and so on.

Only if you want to be annoyed with descriptions of what radar and weather maps show...

Why would that be a no-no? Indeed Google Maps is animated.

Lack of radar is my BIGGEST issue with Android Auto. Right now I can exit back to MyLink and use the built in one, but it doesn't zoom in very much which isnt very helpful. Not sure why you can't have a static radar that updates every 5 minutes or on manual command. Overlay in Maps (similar to Traffic) is actually something I've been wanting for awhile even before Auto.

There is no weather app but what works for me is asking "Will it rain today?" or "What weather will it be tomorrow?" and Android Auto will answer me. Not exactly what you are looking for but at least it's somewhat useful.
