Use this forecast generator to make/publish/share your own predictions. If you like forecasting, it's a nice simple way of making a graphical representation for your audience/peers. Parents and/or teachers can use it to assist their kids to make their own forecasts, and who knows, maybe spark an interest in science or meteorology.
Thank you for your feedback as well. In general, much of the functionality is influenced by user-feedback/requests which has allowed me an opportunity to expand my programming understanding. It is humbling to know that something I've made and worked at for a long time has benefited others.
Thanks to GoalKicker.com for some very useful guides on programming (HTML5, Canvas, JS, CSS guides assisted here).

- The imagery you create with this generator can be used however you'd like. No attribution necessary/expected.
