Why a weather-smart road trip changes everything
Since Weather Underground shut down its trip planner, drivers have been stuck stitching together five tabs just to see if rain will meet them in Nashville. Weather Planner does it in one screen — every city on your route, hour by hour, all week long.
Step 1 — Drop every stop
- Share your location for the starting point (or search a city).
- Open the Vacation planner and list every stop in order.
- Set the number of nights you'll spend in each city.
Step 2 — Read the forecast for the whole route
Weather Planner pulls a 10-day forecast for every stop. Look for the red weather alerts — they show the exact clock time storms, heavy rain, or heat waves will hit each city.
- Green day = drive it, hike it, camp it.
- Yellow day = pack the poncho, keep plans flexible.
- Red day = shift your arrival earlier or later by a day.
Step 3 — Let the planner build the day
Tap any city and Weather Planner generates a full day: sunrise coffee, indoor picks when it rains, sunset viewpoints when it clears. Everything is scored against the live forecast for that hour.
Step 4 — Follow the sun with live GPS
On the road, keep GPS on. Weather Planner watches your position and refetches the forecast every time you cross a real weather boundary — so the plan updates itself while you drive.
