Stock weather widget in Nova Launcher?

Any way to get the stock weather widget and use it with Nova Launcher?
Hi,
In short: nope, it's not possible...
You can try some weather apps on the Play Store that look a bit like the stock weather widget.

The stock weather widget and the calender widget are tied to the LG UI framework. Short answer the user above said, Not possible (yet)

[Q] A Weather Widget With Animation? Looked everywhere!

I'm looking for a weather widget with animation on the actual widget. You know, like the Samsung TW Weather Widget which unfortunately can't be used outside Touchwiz. I have tried almost every weather application and a lot of them include a live wallpaper or full screen weather animation when you press the static widget it provides (Beautiful Widgets is an example of this) but I haven't been able to find an application which provides a home screen widget with some simple animation on it. I'm starting to think it could be a limitation of Android and such a widget needs to be linked in some way to the launcher for the animation to work, hence why the Samsung weather widget requires Samsung framework. Is this the case?
Can anyone offer a suggestion? Cheers in advance.
No one?

Not seeing LG Stock weather app in app drawer?

I'm on T-Mobile stock Rom. I can't see/find the stock weather app in the App Drawer, in either LG stock launcher, or 3rd party launcher.
I have the stock Weather widget and the Weather widget opens the Weather app fine.. I also see the app in under system settings/apps. I've wiped cache/data from it, but still no luck. I'm beginning to think LG only wants the app to open from the Weather widget itself?
If any T-mobile users out there, if you can answer if you have stock Weather app from stock Rom that would be great. Other variants also welcome.
Thanks

Yeah,. The app itself is only the widgets. I saw it once, but once I launched the app it disappears. The app is there but no icon. Hope this make sense.

Try going to Settings, About phone, Update Center, App Updates and see if it is in the list. It may have to be downloaded.
Same thing on a Sprint V20. The only way to open the stock weather app seems to be via a widget. This is strange. I have a LG G2 which has a very similar stock weather app, and it appears in the app drawer and the widget list.

I was also disappointed to find the weather app isn't standalone. I fixed this by using activity launcher and creating a shortcut to the weather activity. Best part about this method is that I don't need to use LG Home. This will work on all variants.

Great solution, I will try it, thanks!
I can confirm on T-Mobile the icon for the app is completely removed after launching the app. Just noticed this yesterday...
