About

The mission

Forecast California is the definitive portal for the Golden State's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear for all 58 counties, from the North Coast redwoods to the Mexican border.

No state has more weather in it: the Pacific marine layer and coastal fog, the Central Valley and desert heat, the Sierra snowpack that runs the water year, the atmospheric rivers of winter, and the Santa Ana and Diablo winds that drive California's fire season. Forecast California is being built to tell that whole story — county by county, region by region.

The design language

The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. California takes a warm golden-sand paper and a California-poppy orange accent — its own note in a network where Florida runs on gold, Georgia on peach, and Alabama on russet.

Companions & the network

California is the network's West Coast outpost. Its state-line neighbors aren't live yet, but Forecast Florida, Georgia and Alabama are all part of the same system — and as the map fills in westward, the companions will interlock here too.
