Case Study: Leading Weather Service Provider achieves earlier, more accurate severe weather warnings with AccuWeather For Business

A destructive derecho tears through the Midwest; AccuWeather provides its clients with the most advanced warnings

AccuWeather For Business supported a leading weather service provider facing the challenge of keeping clients ahead of a rare and destructive derecho that moved through South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. The company needed earlier, more accurate severe weather intelligence and clearer impact descriptions than public alerts and other weather sources could provide.

AccuWeather For Business used its SkyGuard service, Long Range Forecast Team, severe weather outlooks, Latest Extreme Weather Updates, and mobile alerts to deliver advance notice, site-specific warnings, and live meteorologist consultation. The result was earlier and more accurate warning coverage, including 40 minutes more advance notice on intense wind than government and other sources, one-hour-plus earlier risk escalation in some cases, and tornado warnings that beat government alerts by 20 minutes or more; AccuWeather also correctly identified the zone of greatest concern nearly matching the derecho path.
