My zip code shows up as 'Austin, CA' when I searched 78701 which is Austin, TX.

Similarly, mine shows 'Oakland, PA' when I search for 94612 which is Oakland, CA.

Thanks, should work now!

Sadly, central Oregon is not served well by NOAA radar:

Cities are pretty messed up when clicking around - for example my home town of Livermore CA is nearly impossible to find as most of the region comes up as various formerly unincorporated towns that haven't existed for decades. Ex, Ulmar and Trevarno...

It's not quite 8PM on a March evening here and the forecast says "Next 1H: Sunshine, Next 3H: Sunshine".

Clear is not the same as sunny. Especially at night.

I have seriously been searching for something like this for years. Thank you for building it. Accuweather, Weather.com, and Weather Underground all have bloated, worthless interfaces that make me cry.

You'll probably like forecast.io as well.

I use Dark Sky on the iPhone which gives me similar data and alerts.

But I have to say I really like the game/fun UX/UI feeling of your site.

You might also like WeatherSpark. It's a similar concept. Stormia has a live wind map, which is super cool, but WeatherSpark has a bunch of other graphs that you can look at (like humidity, cloud cover, and a bunch of others).
