Your weather app is gossip from an airport. The sky above your handlebars is telling you exactly what's coming, in a language you already knew and quietly forgot how to speak.
As someone who often looks at the clouds and thinks if only I knew what they were telling me, this is very useful! Another handy one is "red sky at night, shepherd's delight/red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning". Red sky comes from high pressure systems, so red sky at sunset means there's good weather to the west, and red sky in the morning means there's good weather to the east. The saying is from the UK, where weather tends to come from the west.
Love this. As my wife and I head out for a bikepacking trip around southern Arizona with very changeable weather on the horizon, this is a good reminder.
