Description

The minutely precipitation data from Pirate Weather is currently only used for notifications. It would be valuable to show it in the UI as well, similar to how Dark Sky/Apple Weather shows a "Rain for the next 45 minutes" or a minute-by-minute precipitation timeline.

Proposed Solution

Add a "Next Hour" or "Precipitation Forecast" section to the current conditions view when minutely data is available:

  • Summary line: "Light rain for the next 20 minutes" or "Rain starting in 12 minutes" or "No precipitation expected"
  • Optionally: a text-based timeline showing precipitation intensity at 5-minute intervals
  • Screen reader friendly — announced as part of current conditions
  • Only shown when Pirate Weather is active (auto mode with PW key, or PW as primary source)

References

  • PW minutely block includes a summary field that could be displayed directly
  • The existing MinutelyPrecipitationForecast model already has all the data needed
