Basically every weather app you see is just a rehash of NOAA data collected under the Department of Commerce to allow for interstate transport.
The specific amount of precipitation is not predicted. And it wouldn't be accurate anyhow.
Cheers.
EDIT:
If anyone wants an idea($)... The core functionality of the NOAA data is broken. That is, say I want to get in my rig and drive to Austin or Denver, but I don't want to be in a blizzard or wind-storm. There is no app (TMK) that combines way-finding with real-time weather. There is no app where I can say "find me a reasonable route that avoids weather", like we have apps that avoid tolls and ferries.

While I’m not sure if this routes you around trips, this app seems to give you weather along a route. I’ve been looking for an app like this for years. I have no affiliation here, just curious like yourself.

It's like that, but it reroutes based on weather that will likely be encountered on a pre-defined haul/rest schedule.
I'm not actually a long haul trucker, I just saw a lot of them that got twisted recently.

Googling the idea after I posited it, I do see apps for aviation and the visually impaired.
