A custom weather shop, with meteorologists on the account.
WeatherGuidance is a private weather company in Kyle, Texas. WeatherGuidance was founded in 2012, continuing a practice that has mapped storms and forecast for weather-sensitive operations since the early 1990s — more than 35 years of experience. We produce forecasts, warnings and storm data for organizations whose safety and bottom line depend on the weather — written for their locations, their thresholds and their decisions, by live meteorologists, never repackaged from government products.
Fourteen years in business. More than 35 years of experience in meteorology, forensic analysis and the insurance industry. Clients in all 50 states.
How we work
Meteorologists and cutting-edge technology
Unlike services that feed a database of computer-derived weather to a subscriber list, every WeatherGuidance forecast, warning and report is prepared by a meteorologist, using cutting-edge forecasting technology, for a specific location and a specific client. The only time a government product enters the picture is when we tell a client an NWS warning doesn't apply to them.
Customized, not configured
A refinery, a school district with twenty campuses, a solar array, a claims department and a quick-service restaurant chain do not need the same weather information. Each program is built with the client — thresholds, lead times, delivery, the number that matters — and adjusted as their operation changes.
Technology behind the people
Preparing forecasts by hand doesn't mean working without tools. Our meteorologists work with the latest radar, lightning-detection, satellite and model data, our own historical event archives, and a delivery stack that reaches clients by web portal, smartphone app, email, text, telephone and API.
Around the clock
SiteWarn™ clients are monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from our operations center, with a meteorologist on the phone when the call is close. StormIntel™ runs around the clock too — the maps, alerts and API update as storms happen, day or night. WeatherCue™ cues go out whenever the weather confirms them — evening, weekend or 6 a.m. — because the moment to act doesn't keep office hours. Only the forensic department, which prepares verification reports by hand, keeps regular business hours. The weather doesn't stop, and neither do we.
What we do
Same weather, three jobs — each with a team dedicated to it.
Now
SiteWarn™
Site-specific and territory-specific severe weather warnings, forecasts and monitoring for people and property — lightning, hail, wind, tornado, flood, heat by WBGT, wildfire and more, at the client's thresholds. Custom forecasts — hourly to 7 days, extended to 10–14 days by need — are part of every SiteWarn program.
Ahead
WeatherCue™
Historical weather matched to a client's own numbers and customized forecasts out to 14 days, turned into a cue to sell, staff, stage product or reach customers — in time to matter.
After
StormIntel™
Street-level hail, wind and tornado swath maps, address-specific verification reports and lightning strike reports for claims, restoration and forensic review.
Who we are
A team of meteorologists, forensic weather analysts and programmers — several of whom spent years inside the insurance industry before joining us. That mix is why a WeatherGuidance verification report reads the way an adjuster needs it to, why a SiteWarn program is built around what a plant or a district actually does when a warning arrives, and why a WeatherCue cue arrives as a business decision — who to message, what to stock, when — rather than as another forecast.
We don't employ a sales staff. When you call, you talk to a meteorologist.
