What a click gets you

The forecast, distilled

Today's high and low, the next 48 hours as a trace with the NBM's stated p10–p90 behind it, active alerts on top, and the forecast written out in sentences — for the exact grid cell you clicked, with the cell named.

Odds, coverage, verification

Calibrated rain odds by amount — a tenth, a quarter, an inch — from the NBM's own distribution. The wettest cell within twenty miles, located. And the error this forecast has actually earned here, scored daily against the gauges and thermometers.

Then drill down, or take it

Every card opens the full 22-element dashboard at the same point, the city's own page on weather.city, or a four-point comparison — or hands you the data as CSV and the card as PNG. Configuration is a link; nothing needs an account.

Where the numbers come from

The National Digital Forecast Database is the NWS's own gridded forecast — the one their forecasters draw and the one weather.gov publishes. The National Blend of Models is the calibrated multi-model blend that feeds it, and its QMD file carries the full distribution the rain odds are read from. Forecast Points takes the nearest cell of the 2.5 km grid with no interpolation and tells you how far that cell was from the point you asked about. The verified error comes from this site's own ledger — every forecast scored against the co-located observation before it rolls off the archive. Alerts come live from the NWS API in the official event colours.
