Create Your Own Bucktown, Wicker Park Weather Zone
The National Weather Service now has a tool where you can customize your weather forecast, right down to the Chicago block you live on.
Today in Bucktown and Wicker Park, we bring you one of the National Weather Service's newest pages—one that allows you to make your own zone forecast.
It's called a "user-defined forecast page" and it let's residents from across the U.S. draw their geographic boundaries onto a map and set elevation perimeters.
- Feel free to reference our neighborhood-based selection here, which includes current and future weather conditions.
"Please test it out and let us know what you like and don't like," the National Weather Service requested on its Facebook page.
The mapping-your-own-forecast feature is still in development, so feedback will be relayed directly to the programmers to improve the product.
Follow this link to test it out yourself.
