Weather worth knowing

About Anecast

Weather worth knowing — 29 US cities, every morning.

What it is

Anecast is a small, independent weather publication. Every morning it reads the official forecast and the forecaster's own reasoning, the major weather models, the station's record book, and what actually happened yesterday — and writes a few short stories about what's unusual, what changed, and what's coming. Then it keeps score.

Where the numbers come from

Nothing is used that wasn't saved raw first. Every story keeps the exact inputs it was written from, and every number in a story has to exist in those inputs.

The Anecast forecast

The number on the page is not the NWS forecast and not a model's output. It is Anecast's own: a proprietary forecast that draws on the official call, the weather models, and how each has actually performed in this city, with a likely range around it. It is graded every morning against what the station recorded, and every change to how it's made is scored against that record before it ships.

The receipt and the scorecard

Each morning the page shows what yesterday's forecast said next to what the airport recorded: the high, the rain, the strongest gust, and where the reading fell among the models. The scorecard grades the week: a day is on target when the observation landed inside the likely range. The misses stay on the page too. That is the whole point.

Who makes it

Anecast is built by Brendan Heberton, the founder of Weather5280, who thinks weather deserves better explanations than a number and an icon.
