It asks one question: where are you driving to? Then when. ForeDrive checks the forecast at every point along the way, at the hour you'll actually be there, and answers in plain words: good to go, use caution, poor, or dangerous.
Free. No account. No map to wrestle with until you have your answer. Works on iPhone, Android and desktop, right in the browser, and hands off to Google Maps or Apple Maps when you're ready to roll.
Weather apps show you a city. Navigation apps show you a road. ForeDrive shows you the weather on the road, at the hour you'll be on it, and it only asks what it needs to know.
Type a city and state and pick it from the list. Your starting point fills in with your location; tap Change if you're leaving from somewhere else.
Tap one: leave now, later today, tomorrow morning, tomorrow afternoon, or pick a day and time up to two weeks out.
One rating for the whole drive, the hazards that matter, the best time to leave, the map, and every checkpoint along the way in local time.
Every trip gets one of four ratings. They're tuned to how you travel: a stiff headwind matters on a bike, not in a car; a gusty crosswind matters in a motorhome more than a sedan.
A calendar of every morning, midday and evening across the week, colored by conditions. Tap any square to re-plan around it.
Up to three routes compared on weather, named by the towns they pass. Take the calm road when the fast one is in a storm.
Every 10 to 20 minutes of the trip: the nearest town, the forecast for the moment you'll pass, and the wind relative to your direction.
National Weather Service watches and warnings that overlap your route and your travel window.
Arrival times include the traffic that's typical for the hour you'll be on each stretch, with the slow spots called out.
A notification before you leave with a fresh briefing, and another if the rating changes while you wait.
Check a trip again and ForeDrive tells you what's different since the last time you looked.
The home screen lists your favorite and recent drives, each already rated for leaving now. Tap one, pick a time, and you have your answer.
A one-page briefing to print, save as a PDF, or send to the family before a holiday drive.
Open the chosen route in Google Maps or Apple Maps, or export a GPX file for a Garmin or RV navigator.
Cars, motorhomes, motorcycles, bicycles and walkers each get ratings that fit how exposed they are.
If you've ever checked three weather apps before a long drive, this is for you.
Long days across mountain passes and open plains, where the weather at the far end has nothing to do with the weather at home.
Wind, rain and temperature aren't background noise when you're out in them. ForeDrive rates headwinds, crosswinds and cold for riders.
A single page that answers "should Mom drive today?" without a meteorology degree. Print it, text it, or save it.
A dispatch board with hold-or-go recommendations, vehicle profiles and hours-of-service checks. See ForeDrive Fleet.
ForeDrive opens in dark mode. Prefer light? Or want it to follow your phone? Both are one tap away in Settings, along with three text sizes.
The app is free to use today while we test. Leave your email and we'll write once at launch, and once more if something big changes. Nothing else.
