Acme Weather: iOS forecast app offers multiple forecast paths

TL;DR Summary
After selling Dark Sky to Apple, its creators launch Acme Weather for iOS, a forecast app that shows a primary daily prediction alongside several alternate forecasts derived from satellite, ground‑station, and radar data. The app uses closely grouped forecast lines to signal reliability and wider spreads to indicate potential changes, and it lets users report conditions on a map with radar, lightning, rain, wind, and other data, plus customizable notifications. It costs $25/year after a two‑week free trial, with an Android version planned.
