Weather forecast is best told as a narrative and reducing it to a sports score like temperature / rainfall will always be problematic for many regions.

I’m in SF and I have not looked at a “TV/app style” forecast in years. Instead every morning I read:

https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=CI&glossary=...

During the day I look periodically at:

https://fog.today

Enjoy NOAA’s data while they still have funding.

I also like the pure NWS data, and will take a moment to shill Deep Weather on iOS, which provides a nice, easy interface to the NWS products for an area.

I've been looking for something like this but unfortunately I am halfway between two stations and with the mountains here makes enough of a difference that neither one is accurate.

I made a val to clean this up a little better: https://www.val.town/x/greg_dryke/nwsForecastDiscussionWeb

The `<pre>` on the NWS site was really messy on mobile, this is nice and neat. Feel free to fork it and use your own, or this link should work for your NWS site too!

(No promises on possible future changes if you do start using it, but it's pretty stable.)

I found reader mode in Firefox Mobile worked fine too, but yours doesn't have the broken line breaks like reader mode did.

Is it possible to navigate to that page from weather.gov (not having a direct link)? Cannot find a way.
