Plaincast
What the forecast actually says — NWS Area Forecast Discussions, decoded into plain English.
Plaincast decodes the National Weather Service's Area Forecast Discussion — the real forecast, written 3 to 4 times a day by the meteorologist on shift — into plain English. The discussion is where a forecaster explains their reasoning: which models disagree, what they are watching, and how confident they are. Below is the current edition for Jacksonville, with its shorthand expanded. The full experience — an AI plain-English summary beside the annotated original — loads with JavaScript, and every one of the 68 forecast offices has its own edition.

Small Craft Advisory Conditions Friday Night
Patchy Frost Expected Across Inland SE GA and Suwannee Valley on Sunday Morning
Increasing Marine and Coastal Hazards Next Week. Gale Force Winds, Gusty Northeast Winds, and High Rip Current
Cooler and Drier Friday Following Frontal Passage
Another cold front will push across the area on Friday, clearing south of the area by Friday Night, with high pressure building towards the southeastern US on Saturday. Temperatures Friday will be cooler, highs only reaching the 60s for most of the area, near 70 for the north central Florida area. Breezier northwesterly winds continue, with clearing skies throughout the day. A steep drop in low temperatures is forecast, with lows falling into the upper 30s for inland southeast Georgia and the Suwannee valley, lower to mid 40s elsewhere, not quite cold enough for frost yet.
