AccuWeather’s Snow Warning Service is a premium, location-specific forecast and consulting service for snow and ice, focused on impact to pavement and travel. The service includes snow and ice alerts, warnings and advisories, 24/7 phone consultations with expert meteorologists, and access to the interactive AccuWeather for Business Portal.
Notifications—sent via email and text—begin at least 24 hours in advance of the storm, are custom prepared by AccuWeather’s expert meteorologists, and are tailored to your organization’s specifications.
A preliminary forecast, typically issued when an approaching storm is more than 24 hours away. The Alert provides a heads-up about a potential situation.
Typically issued 16-18 hours in advance of the start of any snow that is expected to accumulate on roads or in the case of any ice accumulation. Updated warnings are issued as appropriate throughout the weather event.
An advisory is issued three or more hours prior to an event when snow will generally be on the lighter side (typically an inch or less). While you may get some snow, a major plowing operation is not expected. Advisories are also used when freezing drizzle or fog may be a concern or when there is a small threat of snow that may cause problems, but the likelihood of accumulation is low.
AccuWeather has been helping local and state governments, school districts, and businesses prepare for snow and ice events for over 50 years.
Our Snow Warning Service will not only ensure that you will make the best decisions, but you will be able to do so with greater confidence, saving you valuable time and money while keeping those who depend on you safer.
