Acme Weather aims to improve forecast reliability by displaying “Alternate Predictions” - a range of model outputs that tighten together when confidence is high and diverge when uncertainty rises. The app also incorporates community reporting, allowing users to share real‑time conditions via icons or emojis, and offers map layers for radar, lightning, precipitation, wind, and more. Notifications alert users to weather changes, community reports, and government alerts. Acme Weather is free for two weeks, then $25 per year; an Android version is planned.
  • The former Dark Sky team has launched a new weather app, Acme Weather, after leaving Apple. Available now on iOS for a $25 annual subscription (with a free two‑week trial), the app offers a primary forecast plus several alternate predictions to illustrate forecast uncertainty. Predictions are displayed as lines showing possible daily weather paths; tighter clustering signals higher confidence. Acme Weather also incorporates user‑reported conditions, radar, lightning, and other data layers, and retains Dark Sky’s customizable notifications for rain, severe weather, lightning, and even rainbow alerts. An Android version is planned but has no release date yet.
