Case Study: Trinity Rail Express achieves life-saving early tornado warnings with AccuWeather For Business

Trinity Rail Express - Customer Case Study

Trinity Rail Express, a commuter rail line connecting Dallas to Fort Worth, faced an unexpected tornado threat during a Wednesday evening rush hour. AccuWeather For Business provided continuous meteorologist monitoring and customized, site-specific weather warnings to detect severe in-cloud rotation and alert rail dispatch before the public advisory.

AccuWeather For Business meteorologists issued a tornado warning at 5:52 p.m.—more than eight minutes before the National Weather Service advisory—while communicating directly with Trinity Rail Express dispatch (including meteorologist Phil Warren). That early, site-specific warning was credited with timely, accurate action to protect commuters; Trinity Rail Express praised AccuWeather For Business for 100% accuracy in the incident.
