AccuWeather's world-renowned meteorologists warned businesses of severe thunderstorms in Texas and Louisiana, allowing them to be better prepared and saving lives. On the evening on January 7, severe thunderstorms swept through eastern Texas and northwest Louisiana, producing heavy downpours, golf-ball-sized hail, and gusty winds that downed powerlines and trees. Businesses that did not use AccuWeather's SkyGuard warnings service didn't get the advance warning they needed and put their people, property, and profits at risk.
AccuWeather demonstrated its Superior Accuracy™ by giving people and businesses multiple days of lead time to protect their lives and property. AccuWeather For Business once again provided customers with precious additional time to better prepare and seek safe shelter – critical when every second counts and lives are on the line.
Accurate forecasts and warnings allow companies to plan better and keep their teams and customers safer. We have saved 10,000+ lives, prevented 100,000+ injuries, and saved companies tens of billions of dollars. As an example of our Superior Accuracy™ when tornadoes are in the forecast, we provide 16 minutes of advance notice compared to an average of 8 minutes from other sources. Our false alarm rate is also much smaller, saving you from costly shutdowns.
AccuWeather's forecasts are more accurate, detailed, localized, customized, and often issued ahead of all other sources. As a result, you have more time to operate more efficiently, minimize the risk of reputational harm, and, most importantly, keep your teams and customers safer.
Be proactive with AccuWeather's SkyGuard® Warnings, which will deliver site-specific alerts and offer warnings well before severe weather hits, giving you much-needed time to be prepared.
