- See also Weathertell (Priest Spell).
This spell enables the caster (who must be able to see the sky and listen to the winds) to predict the general weather conditions for the upcoming 1 hour per level of the caster. These are the natural weather conditions at the caster's current location, assuming no magical manipulation occurs. Thus, this spell could predict the natural rain shower that will be coming in three hours, but could not predict the magically created storm tomorrow morning.
Upon casting this spell, the caster discovers the general wind speed and prevailing direction of the wind that will be extant for the indicated time period. Specific timing of gusts and wind shifts is not possible, however.
Similarly, the caster discovers whether it will be raining (or snowing), and approximately how hard any precipitation will be. Exceptional weather patterns (such as tornadoes) are revealed to the caster, but the exact path cannot be predicted with any accuracy.
Notes: Common for Sea, Weather, and Storm mages and for those from the Sea of Fallen Stars region of the Forgotten Realms setting; otherwise, very rare.
