Is it really difficult to find 10 day forecast? Windy is a particularly good app for these kinds of things.

I also run a small REST API service (oikolab.com) that provides location-based forecast data out to 10 days using NCEP service. I started out using DarkSky and Wunderground a couple of years ago but couldn't really get the type & quality of data I needed so I ended up creating one from the original raw data.

It is a 're-packager' in a sense but what we bring to the table is the ability to query the data in a time-series manner efficiently for specific set of end-users. The way NCEP's GRIB data is packaged makes it very slow and painful to do this if you wanted weather parameters to feed into other analytical models (e.g. building energy simulation, time-series forecast etc).
