About Fat Tail Weather

Fat Tail is weather without the guesswork. Most weather apps show you a model's estimate, interpolated for your area. Fat Tail shows you what's actually happening — live readings from professionally maintained, calibrated sensors at the airports nearest you. It's the same data pilots trust before takeoff, decoded into a clean, bold report anyone can read. REAL MEASUREMENTS, NOT ESTIMATES Temperature, feels-like, humidity, dew point, wind, gusts, visibility, pressure, and cloud layers — measured at the source and updated the moment conditions change, not just on the hour. YOUR LOCAL FIELD REPORT Open the app and it finds the closest reporting stations automatically. See exactly which airport your reading comes from, how far away it is, and how fresh the observation is. Compare nearby stations with one tap. A WIND ARROW THAT ACTUALLY POINTS Enable the compass and the wind arrow tracks as you turn — it always points the true direction the wind is moving, like holding a hand compass. FORECASTS FROM NOAA'S BEST Hourly and 7-day forecasts powered by the National Blend of Models — the multi-model blend NWS forecasters themselves start from. Rain, snow, and storm chances shown big and clear, with the peak hour called out. MORE AT A GLANCE Conditions rated with aviation color codes — green when it's clear, red when it's rough Sunrise and sunset, calculated for your exact location Save up to 10 locations for one-tap checks The raw station report included, for the curious No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Your location never leaves your phone. Weather's biggest days are the rare ones — the fat tail. Know what's really out there.
