Ah, well. Not everybody is a nerd. I forgive you for being normal.

One of my favorite weather sites just has a big graph:

<https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.2112&lon=-83.5999&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical>

The models used by the National Weather Service aren't very good at
predicting for this area, so I only use them for the next day or two.
For a longer-range forecast, I use this:

It has radar, so I can see what's coming.
