About QuickWX
QuickWX delivers pinpoint weather forecasts for specific GPS coordinates — not just the nearest town. Built for backpackers, overlanders, anglers, pilots, and anyone whose plans happen away from named places. All data comes straight from the National Weather Service, the authoritative source for US forecasts. Free, no ads, no tracking.
Why it exists
I'm Keith Kessler, an avid overland adventurer and explorer. I spend a good chunk of the year camped in remote locations across the United States, and on those trips I kept hitting the same friction: the forecast I actually needed was for a dispersed campsite miles down a forest road — a place no weather app knew by name. Scrolling town-name forecasts for the nearest settlement was a poor proxy. QuickWX is the tool I wished existed: paste the coordinates of wherever you're actually going, and get the forecast for that exact point.
Where the data comes from
Every forecast on QuickWX comes directly from the National Weather Service (NOAA) — the authoritative source for official US forecasts, watches, warnings, and advisories. There's no proprietary model, no curation, no filtering — just the same data NOAA issues, surfaced for a specific latitude and longitude. The site is free, ad-free, and collects no personal data beyond Netlify's server-side traffic counts.
When to use it
If your destination has a name — "Phoenix" or "Asheville" — Weather.com already does that well. QuickWX is for the other case: the ridge, the trailhead, the BLM dispersed site, the fire lookout, the boat launch on a backcountry lake. Anywhere you can drop a pin, QuickWX has a forecast for it.
