That is awesome! Another aid for trip planning and a great tool while boating or fishing any large body of water.

It looks good and is nice for the layman and I have been associated with similar things for years-- whatever drives your confidence in the weather; but in all honesty (working in the field for 20+ years) not that accurate even when it says "real time" Aviation weather below is near real time and accurate enough (that I have a job) and for commercial FAA traffic. (BUT I DONT MEAN TO STEAL THE THREAD- JUST ADDING MY .02. ) For wind temps cloud cover currently happening use the following- Current weather


for future forecasts I would lean on this example from NOAA (in this case for downtown ELY)

Ely hour by hour forecast

Just my .02. Enjoy the weather; it's the only weather you got.

WW do most of the weather sites/apps base their forecasts off the NOAA models anyway?

100%-- all computer/automation generated with little/ if any human augmentation. Which is a big deal. The human interaction/augmentation you will get with apps is little to none. It's why I reccm the NWS and reading their area forecast discussions every 12 hours--- (or more so in severe weather )seen here

The lingo is a little too far weather nerdy at times- but is the real deal. Any questions about them I can answer.

I use their forecasts 99% of the time. Sometimes I will check out a couple local meteorologist's for wind forecasts. They have 30 years experience in our area.
