AccuWeather's Hurricane Experts issue updates more frequently so you can make better decisions and keep your residents safer. For all 2024 U.S. landfall hurricanes, AccuWeather's forecasts provided, on average, 19 hours more advance notice of the storms' tracks, 8.9% more accurate track forecasts, 4.4% more accurate hurricane intensity, 5.7% more accurate landfall timing, 8.6% more accurate landfall point, and 37.8% more accurate landfall intensity than all other known sources.

Not only does AccuWeather provide more frequent updates as the storm approaches and threatens your particular area, but importantly, our forecasts and warnings are pinpointed to your exact location and include details of the hurricane's impact on your jurisdiction, whether it’s storm surge, flooding rains, the risk of wind damage, or tornado development—all tailored to your precise location and your particular needs.

AccuWeather's Hurricane Experts are watching and monitoring your community 24/7/365, and they are available for live consultations with you whenever you desire, especially when you are on the verge of important decisions. AccuWeather’s AssetReport™ will change how you and your organization react to hurricane threats this storm season. Whether you’re protecting a single asset or thousands, our end-to-end solutions provide the insights you need to enhance safety and reduce risk before, during, and after the storm.

From Hurricane Agnes in 1972 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Sandy in 2008, Hurricane Ian in 2022, and many more, AccuWeather forecasts have saved thousands of lives. We have been cited by Congress and won awards from the American Meteorological Society for our exceptional hurricane forecasting.

For example, AccuWeather was the only known source that predicted a storm surge of 16-20’ for Hurricane Ian that killed 100 people in the Ft. Myers area. The National Hurricane Center predicted 12-16’, and the actual storm surge measured was

over 18’.

The cost is very modest compared to the benefits and peace of mind that our Hurricane Warning Service can bring to your community.

Hurricane Warnings, Forecasts, and Insights

AccuWeather For Business hurricane impact-driven warnings and forecasts provide organizations worldwide with a single, accurate source of information when hurricanes threaten.

Hurricane Impact Forecasts

Get key details on expected hurricane track and impacts emailed to you whenever we have important updates to share. Our meteorologists prepare hurricane forecasts independent of the government and our forecasts are issued ahead of any other source – giving you a head start in preparations. Once a storm approaches the coast, Impact Forecasts become more frequent and offer greater detail allowing a more granular look at actual impact per asset location.

Leverage 14 Tropical Portal Layers

Layers include watches and warnings, storm surge, rainfall, maximum wind gusts, probability of hurricane-force winds, and more. With the AccuWeather For Business Portal, you won’t have to guess what impacts will affect which areas – the specifics are clearly presented based on our own forecasts. Unique to the Portal is our detailed forecast track, drawn and adjusted by expert meteorologists. Additionally, our proprietary risk assessment layer provides an impact-based evaluation for all expected hazards and hurricane factors, including the time of year, societal, infrastructure, recent rainfall, and more. The Portal displays forecasts up to 7 days in advance.

Long-range Forecasts

Created by our lead hurricane meteorologist and distributed daily by email, this report contains expert tropical commentary accompanied by detailed maps for the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins, including potential areas for development, as well as storm tracks. Use this daily update to be the first to know about possible tropical storm development and risk areas. Long-range forecasts for western Pacific and Australian basins are also available.

Additional Tropical Product Offerings Available

SkyGuard Warnings

Site-specific warnings with start and end times for high wind, tornadoes, flash flooding, lightning and more, allow you to make the best decisions regarding evacuations and other actions that may be necessary when weather threatens.

Get hurricane tracks & impacts before public sources

AccuWeather hurricane track and impact forecasts are issued an hour in advance of publicly available sources and include path, intensity, and associated hazards, allowing you to make decisions about how to enhance safety for your people and best prepare your business ahead of the storm and your competition.

Coverage before, during and after the storm

SkyGuard meteorologists provide decision-makers the insight necessary to understand storm track and impacts before, during, and after landfall. Each storm is tracked end to end, from early development through dissipation on land or at sea.

1:1 Consultation

For clients, our team of business weather experts are available 24/7 for 1:1 or team-oriented live briefings throughout any weather impact. This live context, paired with forecast and warning products, form powerful situational awareness that virtually eliminates any guesswork for decision-makers, providing the confidence necessary to make the best decisions when critical risks loom.

AccuWeather’s new RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes analyzes factors such as inland flooding, coastal storm surge, and tornado outbreaks, as well as the total anticipated damage and economic impact. Unlike the Saffir-Simpson scale, which classifies storms by wind speed only, the RealImpact Scale includes an additional rating of “Less than 1”. This provides insight into tropical storms that do not reach Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale but may still cause substantial destruction, injury, or loss of life.

AccuWeather’s AssetReport will change the way you and your organization react to hurricane threats. Whether you’re protecting a single asset or thousands, our end-to-end solutions provide the insights you need to enhance safety and reduce risk before, during and after the storm.

We provide the most powerful site-by-site intelligence associated with your risk exposure, including the start and end times of tropical storm-force winds. Skip the time-consuming task of interpreting maps and data to guess which locations could be affected. Use AssetReport to clearly understand weather impacts throughout your entire footprint.
