About ForecasterHQ
Built with forecasters,
not just for them
We're a small team building tools for independent weather forecasters who are tired of duct-taping together their publishing workflow. And we're not pretending to be anything else.
The Short Version
We noticed something broken
Independent weather forecasters are doing some of the best, most trusted local forecast work out there. They've built real audiences — people who check their forecast before they check the apps.
But the tools haven't caught up. You're screenshotting NWS maps, hand-drawing snow totals in a graphics app, tweeting threads as your “publishing platform,” and trying to build a sustainable business with none of the infrastructure that makes that possible.
ForecasterHQ exists to fix that. We're building a proper toolkit for forecast publishing — maps, briefs, distribution — designed around how independent forecasters actually work.
Honesty as a Feature
We're small. That's the point.
We could fill this page with vague language about being “the leading platform for meteorological content delivery.” But that would be a lie, and it would also be boring.
Here's the truth: ForecasterHQ is early. We're a small, independent team. The product is evolving fast. Some things are rough around the edges. And we think that's exactly why the right people will love working with us right now.
If you want a safe, corporate vendor who'll disappear your feature request into a backlog — we're not that. If you want to help shape the tools you'll use every day, pull up a chair.
When you tell us the snow accumulation map needs a different color ramp, we don't file a ticket — we ship it. When you say the mobile view of your forecast brief is hard to read, we fix it that week. That's not a promise we'll outgrow. It's the entire philosophy.
How We Build
Principles, not platitudes
Your forecast, your brand
We're infrastructure, not a destination. Your audience should know your name, not ours. Everything we build reinforces your identity.
Opinionated but open
We have strong ideas about what great forecast publishing looks like. But we hold those ideas loosely and let real usage prove us right or wrong.
Ship, then listen
We'd rather put something real in your hands and iterate than spend months perfecting a thing you never asked for.
Stay small on purpose
Small means fast decisions, direct relationships, and no one between you and the people building the product.
Our People
Built for the forecasters who've outgrown the workarounds
You might be running a hyperlocal weather page that's become the go-to source for your area. You might be a broadcast meteorologist building something on the side. You might be the person whose group chat always asks “what's the storm looking like?”
Whatever your path — if you care about doing serious forecast work and want real tools to match, that's who we're building for. Not enterprise weather companies. Not casual hobbyists. You.
