The forecast from this app comes from the best forecast source, the National Weather Service. If you want a forecast away from major population centers, this is the app to get. There is no interpolation from one city to another. This app gets its data from the National Weather Service where they produce a grid of forecast elements that take into account, elevation and proximity to water bodies. Each 5km grid point has its own unique forecast produced by meteorologists that pour over hundreds of observations nearby to get the best forecast possible for each point.

No ads ever. Just a weather forecast with numbers on a graph so you can see the trend over a 7 day period.
