The fine print
About Nice Weather
Methodology, categories, and disclaimers for the experimental Nice Weather Outlook product.
How the scores work, what the categories mean, and the fine print.
What Is This?
The Nice Weather Outlook is an experimental forecast product that highlights where across the United States you can expect pleasant outdoor weather over the next 7 days. Think of it as the opposite of a severe weather outlook — instead of warning you about danger, it shows you where the best weather will be.
This is NOT an official NWS product. It uses publicly available forecast data to identify areas with comfortable conditions.
How It Works
The scoring runs in two stages. First, a weighted base score handles the basics. Then quality gates filter which days can climb into the top tiers.
Categories
Categories are capped by forecast day to reflect decreasing confidence. Perfect is only possible on Days 1-2, Beautiful maxes out on Day 3, and Days 4-7 cap at Nice.
