Weather app that updates automatically?

I've tried in vain to find a weather app that has both status bar notification (and thereby "always on" notifcation) AND updates regularly. I read that Weatherbug will do this, but I've not found an option to turn on constant notifications for it. Weather Underground has the status bar option, but even though I have it set to update, it just won't. The temperature never changes unless I actually open the app. Any suggestions?

I've used weatherbug for this forever since my Droid X, it does what you want
 
Weather Bug has this option in its settings. Are you saying you don't have this option, or that it doesn't work?Capture+_2019-08-17-12-54-09.jpeg
 
Depending on your power settings the phone may be putting the app to sleep so it cannot update. This preserves the battery but is extremely annoying. I have to run my Note9 on the highest power setting in order to keep some of my apps updating. Weather apps seem to he the ones it wants to kill on lower power settigs.

This, Samsung's power optimization can play bad with some apps.
 
Another vote for darksky, probably the best 3 dollars I spend on apps every year
 
I use AccuWeather for the real feel option. The temperature in Georgia is rarely what it actually feels like.
