WeatherKit probably provides weather.com data, which are postprocessed from ECMWF and perhaps other models and they provide the best forecasts. The main issue with raw model data is that they are not adjusted for local altitude.

According to https://developer.apple.com/WeatherKit WeatheKit uses a forecast from Apple, and the data sources listed on https://WeatherKit.apple.com/legal-attribution.html don’t include The Weather Channel or weather.com.

Oh ok. So they're probably using the acquired DarkSky forecast.
