Weather API with distance to named storm [closed]

I am looking to hear from people who has knowledge of or prior experience with Weather API´s, and whom might be able to point me in the right direction.
Essentially I'm looking for a Weather API service which also includes 'named storms' and its given distance to my/a specific location.
After a little investigation, I can see that the market is flooded with different Weather API´s, but I'm in doubt of which one would be the most ideal to consume.
Cheers!

Not sure on an API, but to "name" a storm would require taking advantage of the NEXRAD level 3 STI (Storm Tracking Information) product, which is updated every several minutes. As a storm cell is identified, it is assigned an ID. The STI information has the azimuth and range values from the radar site, which can be converted to LAT/LON. From there, you can do the math to get the distance to the storm from your own location. I have written C++ console apps to do this sort of thing (similar at least). I was going to post this as an answer but it was closed before I pressed enter.

Also, I can guide you on where to get this information (it's raw radar data) and how to decode it quite easily.

Quite why the moderators think this is off topic is beyond me. It is a reasonable question, he is asking about an API, no different to someone asking the best way to do something in Java using the API's.
