I love Guthook... is there a weather app most hikers use? I can’t find one online.

Try "appalaichain trail weather" from the app store. Gives you a guess at what the weather will be like for all the shelters along the AT.

If you get the night time low for Springer or Blood it appears to be reporting the weather down in Blairsville. The disclaimer at their website says they do not modify the NOAA forecast in any way. It would be very helpful if they put in an estimate based on the altitude of the location you requested. For example, subtracting 6 degrees per 1,000 feet of altitude difference would be handy. In any event, just be aware of your altitude.
I have gotten very good at "predicting" the weather by watching cloud formations and movements and just being in tune with temperature changes. It's not useful for long range planning but it works well when trying to figure out if you need to hustle to your destination to avoid getting drenched.

I found that cell reception was poor on most of the trail. So I carry a small ham radio which receives various NOAA weather stations. Works even better from remote high peaks. Also, in a real emergency cell will likely be unavailable. Ham radios will rule.
Don't any of you young 'uns know how to read the weather patterns? I can't be the only one on this forum that learned this. Slo - you must be "atuned" and able to read weather coming.
