What is PredictRain?

Learn what PredictRain shows and how its forecasts, radar, observations and alerts help you plan around rain.

Written by Keryn McMaster

PredictRain helps you understand when rain may arrive, how intense it may be and how conditions are changing around your saved locations.

You can use PredictRain to:

  • View rain forecasts from multiple weather models.

  • Check short-term AI Rain guidance.

  • Compare forecasts in maps, tables and graphs.

  • View accumulated rainfall.

  • Check available Rain Radar, satellite imagery, lightning and weather-station observations.

  • Receive rain or snow alerts for saved locations.

PredictRain uses forecasts and observations from several sources. Each source answers a different question:

  • Forecast models model future weather over several days.

  • AI Rain provides frequently updated short-term rain guidance.

  • Rain Radar shows rain recently detected by ground-based radar.

  • Observations show weather already measured by stations and other observing systems.

For the clearest picture, compare the forecast with current observations rather than relying on one view alone.
