14-day forecast
Days 1–7: National Weather Service. Days 8–14: long-range outlook from Open-Meteo, which is less certain the further out it goes.
🎙️ Siri mode
Once it's set up, say "Hey Siri, SkyCast weather" and Siri reads you the forecast for your city. Plain "what's the weather" always goes to Apple's own Weather app, so SkyCast uses its own phrase.
