Put your business on La Porte County’s weather.
La Porte Weather Now is a local weather site built for one county: the live National Weather Service forecast, official alerts, and a plain-English forecast written fresh every morning. Sponsors present that forecast, clearly labeled, to the people who check it before work, before a trip, and when storms are coming.
We’re new, and we’ll say so. The site launched in September 2026 and is growing. Founding sponsors get in now at our lowest price and help build it.
Something new every morning, all year.
Every day
- The Daily Scoop: a dated, sourced forecast for La Porte, posted every morning
- Live weather: the La Porte airport’s reading, the 7-day forecast and radar, refreshed all day
- Official alerts and an Emergency view for storm days
- Weather radio for La Porte County, updated every 15 minutes
Tools people come back to
- Hard Hat Weather: GO / DELAY / STOP calls for contractors’ crews
- Golf and weekend weather, and the Lake Michigan beaches
- Trip Planner for travelers
- A public Track Record: every forecast checked against the airport, misses included
Real numbers, never estimates.
Our audience is people who live in, work in, or travel through La Porte County: commuters, families, outdoor workers, golfers, campers and beachgoers.
We count visits with GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly counter with no cookies. Ask us for this month’s numbers and we’ll send the exact counts. Every sponsor gets a monthly note of how many people read the Daily Scoop.

Show up when the weather fits your business.
A weather spot appears on the home page only on days your kind of weather is in the La Porte forecast: a furnace company on a freezing night, a plow service when snow is coming, a tree service or roofer when wind is in the forecast. It's advertising timed to the forecast.
Weather you can pick
- Freezing nights or bitter cold
- Snow in the forecast
- Wind or storms
- Rain or heat
Same rules as every sponsor
- Labeled as a sponsor, every time
- Never shown during a warning, or a tornado or severe storm watch
- Never on the Emergency view or in alerts
- One business of each kind
Also open: the Friday night forecast for every town in the county, and the featured spot on Local Eats for restaurants and bars. Ask Scoop about pricing.
