Every measurement Forecast Bar tracks has a full detail screen behind it — a graph or a purpose-built view, for any day in the forecast.
Opening the detail screen
There are three ways in from the main screen:
- Tap the current conditions card — opens today's temperature detail.
- Tap any data point tile in the tiles row — opens that data point.
- Tap an hour inside an expanded day in the daily forecast — opens the detail for that exact day and hour.
Tapping certain notifications (like a Beautiful Sunset alert) also lands you here.
The day selector
A strip of days runs across the top of the screen. Tap any day to see that day's version of the current data point — the graph, times, and values all update. The bottom grid updates too, so you can browse any data point for any forecast day.
The graph
Most data points display as a graph of the day's hourly values. Touch and drag across the graph to scrub — a readout follows your finger with the exact value and time for each hour.
Special detail views
A few data points get richer, purpose-built screens instead of a plain graph:
Sunrise & Sunset
Shows today's sun times along with a sunrise & sunset quality score — Forecast Bar's prediction of how colorful the sky will be. Tap the quality row to open the full quality forecast, with the color-potential score, the weather ingredients behind it, outcome odds, and a viewing plan. See Sunrise & Sunset Quality for how the score works and how to get notified about great ones.
Moonrise & Moonset
Shows moon times together with a realistic rendering of the current moon phase — the moon you see on screen matches the one in the sky.
Air Quality
The air quality index for your location, with category and pollutant details.
Pollen Count
Pollen levels for your location — handy on allergy mornings.
Tides
For coastal locations, a tide chart for the selected day, with:
- the tide station name and its distance from your location,
- high and low tide times, and
- the water temperature, when a station nearby reports one (the reading can come from a neighboring reference station, which is named alongside the value).
The all-data-points grid
Below the detail view is a grid of every data point available for the selected day. Tap any cell to switch the detail view to it. The grid is also customizable — press and drag cells to rearrange them (the "Drag to rearrange" hint at the bottom reminds you). Your order is remembered.
Every data point
These are the 21 data points available on the main screen and in the grid:
| Data point | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Temperature | Air temperature |
| Feels Like | Apparent temperature, combining wind and humidity |
| Heat Index | How hot it feels in heat + humidity |
| Wind Chill | How cold it feels in wind |
| Dew Point | Moisture saturation temperature |
| Humidity | Relative humidity |
| Pressure | Barometric pressure |
| UV Index | Sun exposure risk |
| Visibility | How far you can see |
| Cloud Cover | Percentage of sky covered |
| Wind Speed | Sustained wind |
| Wind Gusts | Peak gusts |
| Precip Chance | Probability of precipitation |
| Accumulation | Expected rain or snow amounts |
| Sunrise | Sunrise time + quality score |
| Sunset | Sunset time + quality score |
| Moonrise | Moonrise time + moon phase |
| Moonset | Moonset time + moon phase |
| Air Quality | Air quality index |
| Pollen Count | Pollen levels |
| Tides | Tide chart (coastal locations) |
Note: Air Quality, Pollen Count, and Tides depend on data availability for your location — Tides in particular only appears near a coast.
Area Forecast Discussion
Tap the document icon in the toolbar to read the Area Forecast Discussion (AFD) — the technical write-up National Weather Service forecasters publish alongside each forecast, explaining their reasoning: which weather models they trust today, where the uncertainty is, and what could change. It's the closest thing to reading the forecaster's mind.
The discussion is a US National Weather Service product, so it's available for US locations only. Use the share button in the sheet to send the full text anywhere.
