One of Dark Sky's features was integrating hyperlocal weather stations.

Right now there are thousands of weather stations posting regular reports via APRS.

Any chance to see those integrated?

They (sort of) are! It gets into the nuance of the weather model side of things, which I don't know as much about, but the HRRR/ GFS models ingest data from APRS and incorporate that into their forecasts. This means that these observations are included (especially in the US), but are at about a 2 hour lag compared to direct readings
