Before leaving the office today I checked 3 different weather apps, all of them said 0% chance of rain. As you have probably guessed I got 100% wet on the way home. Why are we still in 2019 so incredibly bad at weather forecasts or even just saying what the weather is exactly at this moment?

If by "we" you mean NWS forecasts in general they're incredibly good out to 3 days. Forecast verification is a thing and you can check the service's own stats at https://www.weather.gov/mdl/verification_home .

What are the sources you checked?
We have the tech and I understand the frustration. Depends on the weather stations and their locations. I check at least these two: wunderground.com, windy.com
