ACCUWEATHER WARNS FIRST, WITH SUPERIOR ACCURACY™

AccuWeather For Business meteorologists helped businesses to make quick decisions to protect their people, property, and profits by warning first, and more accurately, to a destructive line of severe thunderstorms with gusts over 80 mph. These storms moved across northern Texas during the evening commute on Thursday, March 2. The dangerous storms created significant property damage, power outages, downed trees, and logistical issues.

Business clients who relied on AccuWeather’s SkyGuard® Warnings and pinpointed forecasts with Superior Accuracy™ were able to seek shelter and prepare for damaging winds at their commercial buildings and warehouses.  

  • AccuWeather For Business Storm Warning Meteorologists warned about the threat of tornadoes in northern Texas, including the Dallas Metroplex. AccuWeather was the ONLY SOURCE highlighting the danger of increased damaging wind and tornado threats, giving businesses more time to prepare.
  • AccuWeather was the ONLY source to provide five+ minutes of advance warning before a business lost its roof in Westland, TX, from a destructive line of thunderstorms.
