WeatherBeacon

WeatherBeacon sends you a push notification when the weather actually matters to you — not just when it's "partly cloudy." Set your own conditions: get alerted when temperature drops below 28°F, wind exceeds 30 mph, rain probability tops 70%, or any combination you define. No more checking the forecast every hour. Built for people whose livelihood or safety depends on the weather: • Livestock owners — freeze alerts before water troughs ice over • Hunters — cold front timing, rain alerts, wind direction shifts • Outdoor workers — rain delay risk, high wind safety thresholds • Anyone who wants proactive alerts instead of reactive checking CUSTOM ALERT RULES Build your own conditions with the rule builder. Combine up to multiple factors — temperature AND wind AND precipitation — so you only get notified when it truly matters. PRESET ALERTS Get started in seconds with one-tap presets for freeze warnings, storm approach, high wind, and more. LIVE RADAR (US) Animated NEXRAD radar overlay with location pin — see exactly what's headed your way. 14-DAY FORECAST Full outlook with daily highs/lows, precipitation probability, wind speed, UV index, moon phase, and hourly breakdown. PRECIPITATION HISTORY 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day rainfall and snowfall totals for any of your monitored locations. MULTIPLE LOCATIONS Monitor your farm, hunting camp, job site, and home — all from one app. HONEST WEATHER DATA Powered by Open-Meteo commercial weather data. Forecasts are inherently uncertain — WeatherBeacon supplements, not replaces, official weather warnings.
