SkyGuard Warnings

Site-specific alerts offer advance warning of severe, tropical, and winter weather impacts. Warnings are front and center so you can quickly reference your asset in relation to the threat. They also include null notifications for when weather is in the area but will not impact your assets.

Current Conditions & Real Time Updates Every Minute

AccuWeather’s exclusive, patented MinuteCast^® provides a hyperlocal, minute-by-minute forecast for precipitation type and intensity, as well as start and end times for precipitation over the following two hours, pinpointed to your exact asset address or device GPS location.

Hourly & Daily Forecasts

View hourly forecasts up to 72 hours out and daily forecasts up to 45 days into the future. Choose the weather parameters you care about beyond temperature and precipitation, including cloud cover, hours of sun, and more.

360 Degree View of Lightning Threats

The Enhanced Lightning Summary layer delivers improved situational awareness. Quickly view lightning strikes, including cloud-to-cloud, near your assets, minute by minute, including elapsed time since the last strike.
