Weather hits different on trail. It's not just "is it raining", it's whether the trail surface is going to be hero dirt or a muddy mess that you're tearing up and shouldn't be on. That's a judgment call raw forecasts don't help with.
I ride MTB myself and built Velowindow partly to address this. It scores hourly conditions 0–100 with MTB as a specific ride type. Rain history affects the score, not just current precip, and there are warnings tied to trail conditions when scores drop from rain.
It's a PWA, free, no ads, no account.
MTB weather tolerance is the hardest to get right and I know I haven't nailed it yet. Riders in the PNW think differently about rain than riders in the Southwest. What's your threshold? What does the app get wrong for your trails and climate?

Can’t help but think you’re overthinking all of this. Maybe I’m old but I’m not logging into an app for a score before riding.
