I’ve been using weather.gov as a no-BS site for getting local weather data that I knew would be stable (cough, DarkSky, cough). I’m a bit concerned that the ReadMe seems to only describe covering emergency events+broadcasting in 2.0. I could’ve missed it, but I hope porting over existing functionality is in scope after the MVP
- ChrisArchitect 3y agoAfter Dark sky went I've been using https://merrysky.net/ https://merrysky.net/ and the pirateweather data it's based on seems pretty good.
- atomicfiredoll 3y agoSame, MerrySky been a very handy lens to view the data through. And, Pirate Weather has been a good, open source, drop in replacement for the parts of DarkSky I was using in Home Assistant.
- seanosaur 3y ago> Our strategy for our Minimal Viable Product (MVP) is to make it easier to communicate forecasts and conditions for regular and hazardous weather in a way that anyone can find, understand, and use to take action. I think they've got you covered. Maybe not directly porting over, but it sounds like they're aware of the non-emergency use cases.
- be_erik 3y agoThis new API coupled with their old API makes creating a DarkSky clone pretty simple. Here's mine: https://wthr.cloud/ https://wthr.cloud/ I'll definitely end up using the broadcasting/eventing API for push notifications.
- flymasterv 3y agoVery nice. Beats mine: https://emvee.rocks/weather.html https://emvee.rocks/weather.html

- be_erik 3y agoStupid order of operations bug. A refresh should do it. Thanks for the nudge to fix this up.

- teeray 3y agoOnce you learn some of the weather terminology, your local NWS office’s AFD (area forecast discussion) is easily the most accurate, honest forecast you can find.
- y-c-o-m-b 3y agoUnless you live in the Pacific Northwest, where they routinely screw up winter storms. Thankfully we have a couple of very competent meteorologists to keep us informed when it's needed most, otherwise the winter disaster scenarios would be much worse than it already is.
- monkburger 3y agoAre you talking about the local NWS offices in the PNW? I always tell tech savvy people to look at the forecast discussion and not the infographics. For example, look at Spokane: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.657260000000065&lon=-117.41161999999997 https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.65726000000... Then select 'Forecast Discussion' and read the discussions. They are usually updated a few times a day at the minimum, but during active weather events they are generally updated every 3 to 4 hours with new information (more data from the 850mb layer, for example).
- hnburnsy 3y agoI am a fan of the 2 day graphical forecast from NOAA, everything including dew point, cloud coverage, and wind speeds/direction on one screen and easy to understand the trend... https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.4503&lon=-112.0793&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.4503&lon=-1...
- circusfly 3y agoI'm a fan, miss DarkSky though but weather.gov is far and above better than any commercialized weather site IMO.
