Now reading — clear
A weather station sits on a roof in Bucktown. It reads temperature, pressure, wind and rain every few minutes. An AI turns those numbers into plain English, and the forecast goes up three times a day — plus an alert the moment something's about to hit.

Brilliant start to the day — clear skies and a light breeze. Get on the 606.
Six skies, six looks — the card changes with the day
No forecast desk, no syndicated feed. Three moving parts, running on a machine in a basement in Bucktown.
01 — Measure
An Ecowitt GW3000B on a Bucktown roof logs temperature, pressure, wind and rainfall around the clock. Readings come from here — a mile and a half from the Blue Line, not fifteen miles out by the runways.
02 — Interpret
Station data gets combined with regional models and handed to an AI that writes the call in plain English: when the rain starts, whether you need the jacket, what the afternoon actually looks like.
03 — Publish
The forecast is rendered onto a card and posted automatically. When conditions turn sharply, an alert goes out as a Story straight away — usually before it reaches your street.
Three posts a day on a fixed clock, plus alerts whenever the sky decides.

Evening recap
The scorecard. This morning's forecast against what the station actually recorded — graded, published, and not quietly deleted when it goes badly.
PostWhenever it counts
Alerts
Storms, heavy rain, snow, dense fog. Sent the moment the station and the models agree something's coming — and an all-clear once it's through.
Story onlyEvery evening, the morning's numbers get checked against the station's numbers.
High, low, rainfall and wind each carry a weight. The morning forecast is scored against what the sensor actually recorded, and the result is published that night whether it flatters us or not. A weather account that only shows you its wins isn't telling you anything.
Forecasts, alerts and last night's scorecard. Follow along and find out what's coming before it gets to your block.
