Your weather,
your way.

Dense weather data made readable, for people and for their agents.

Skylar blends many forecast models, checks them against real stations, and tells you what it means for your day in plain sentences, with a clear verdict and the chart to back it up.

Launching in the US. Private beta now.

Skylar home screen for Denver: 68 degrees and sunny, with the line ‘Sunny, warming steadily, high approaching 81°, breeze 6 mph’ and a box to ask Skylar about the weather.

How it works

From dense data to a clear answer.

A forecast starts as millions of numbers from models that rarely agree. Skylar does the reading, so you get the part that matters.

  1. 1 · Many models

    Blended into one consensus

    Blends a dozen+ weather models (HRRR, RRFS, NBM, GFS, ECMWF and more) into one consensus.

  2. 2 · Real observations

    Checked against the ground

    Corrects model bias with real observations from thousands of stations. Readings are quality-checked first, and each correction fades the further ahead the forecast looks.

  3. 3 · A clear answer

    A sentence, a verdict, a chart

    What to expect, whether it suits your plans, and when. Written the way a forecaster would say it to a friend.

Updated continuously; the most detailed data runs in 15-minute steps for the next hours.

The app

Built around the things you actually do.

Every screen and card below comes from the current build of the app.

Plan around the weather

800+ activities, from hiking and golf to running, fishing and pouring concrete. Each one has its own limits, so Skylar can give a straight verdict and point to the best hours.

Go Caution No-go

Ask the way you’d say it: tomorrow morning, this weekend, after work next week. Skylar finds the window.

A Skylar best-windows card for running: best Wednesday 5 to 6 PM, also good Thursday and Friday at the same hour, with a chart of the activity score and wind gusts across the week.

Ask Skylar anything

Ask a weather question and get an answer you can read in seconds, with the chart that explains it.

  • Meteograms: temperature, rain, wind and sky in one picture
  • Best-window charts for any activity
  • Route maps with the weather at each stretch of road

Your favorites, on your home screen

Pick the things you do. Each favorite gets a home card with its week: the best day, the best hours and a grade for every day.

  • Choose which cards you see and where they sit
  • Cards only show up when they have something to say

Skylar keeps watching

Track a plan, like a hike on Saturday or a drive on Sunday. Skylar keeps checking the forecast for it and tells you when something changes, so you don’t have to keep looking.

How tracking works

  • Pick what to watch. An activity from your favorites, or a route, on a day and time.
  • Re-checked with every update. Each time the forecast updates, Skylar runs your plan again.
  • Measured against its own limits. The same thresholds behind that activity’s verdict, so a hike and a round of golf each care about their own things.
  • A push when it changes. When the verdict moves, say from go to caution, or when a better window opens up.
  • On the road, too. For drives, route monitors can alert you on the way if conditions change ahead.

Weather along the drive

Not the weather where you are now, but the weather on each stretch of road at the time you’ll be driving it. Skylar grades the trip and looks for a better time to leave.

How route weather works

  • Split into stretches. Checkpoints along the road, about every 15 to 30 minutes of driving.
  • Forecast for when you’re there. Each stretch gets the forecast for the time you’ll actually reach it.
  • Checked against driving limits. Visibility, gusts, snow rate and heavy rain, plus black-ice risk when it’s below freezing and there’s moisture.
  • One grade, with the reason. A to F, and what set it, like “Snow near Fort Collins around 10:40.”
The Skylar route weather screen: Denver to Cheyenne, grade A+, 100.4 miles, 1 hour 52 minutes, leaving 9:00 AM, with the route map and Skylar’s summary of the drive.
The route timeline: origin at 9:00 AM, first half at 9:30, midpoint at 10:00, near destination at 10:30, each clear with its temperature and wind.
Stop by stop, with the time you’ll reach each one and the weather there.
The departure optimizer: best 6:00 AM, 13 departures tested, with leave and arrival times from 6:00 to 8:00 AM, each graded A+.
The departure optimizer tries a spread of leave times and shows the best one.
  • Avoid what you’d rather not drive in. Snow, ice, fog or wind.
  • Compare routes. Alternate roads side by side.
  • Wait it out. When a short burst of weather will pass, Skylar says so.
  • Hand it off. Open the route in Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Radar, maps and alerts

How Skylar writes

Sentences, not percentages.

A bare number leaves the forecasting to you. Skylar says what it means, in the words a forecaster would use. The numbers are still there, one tap deeper, for when you want them.

Instead of an hourly rain probability

A few showers possible late, clearing by midnight.

Instead of a gust table

Breezy after lunch, with gusts near 30 mph on the ridges.

Instead of a dewpoint and a low

Frost likely by dawn. Cover the tomatoes.

Instead of a spread of model runs

Still uncertain this far out. Firming up by Thursday.

Weather your agent can read.

Skylar is planned as an MCP server, tied to Skylar accounts, with a plain REST twin for agents that don’t speak MCP. An assistant will be able to ask for forecasts, activity verdicts, best windows and route weather, and get back the same readable answers people see.

Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any assistant that supports MCP, and your assistant can work like a meteorologist: it reads the same blended models and station checks Skylar does, and answers with a forecaster’s judgment instead of a guess.
