Important factors should include:

How much it costs to get the weather
How easy it is to get the weather (how easy is it to give it a location?)

OpenWeather is one option: it's free for the first 1,000 calls, which given that my app is basically designed to be called once a day would be more than suitable. It also provides hourly forecasts, which I now realize is probably vital for my app. When evaluating alternatives, it would probably be a good idea to make sure hourly forecasts are a part of the free API.
