Make faster, smarter, more cost-effective decisions

Forecasts and warnings with proven Superior Accuracy™ are often delivered with more advance notice than any other source.

Storm Potential Outlook

Anticipate severe weather risk and potential claim volume with the best long-range severe weather forecasts available, delivering more advance notice and more precise geographic insight than any other source.

Insurers review AccuWeather’s Storm Potential Outlook up to 10 days in advance to identify where severe thunderstorms, winter storms, flooding, or hurricanes are most likely to occur and how severe they may be.

Insurers gain more time to prepare, better visibility into localized risk, and the most reliable forecasts available to allocate resources, prepare claims teams, and notify policyholders before losses occur.

Storm Potential Notice

Provide earlier and more actionable warnings of widespread weather risks so insurers can make better underwriting, operational, and customer communication decisions.

When a major winter storm is expected, insurers use Storm Potential Notices, often days ahead of other sources, to send targeted alerts advising policyholders of snow and ice risks and recommended preventive actions.

With more detailed hazard thresholds and more advanced notice, insurers can reduce claims more effectively by helping policyholders take action before damage happens.

Hurricane Warning Service^™

Manage hurricane exposure using the most accurate and most advanced hurricane forecasts available, including better track accuracy, more accurate intensity forecasts, and more hours of advance notice.

Insurers integrate hurricane track, wind probability, and storm surge information to adjust risk exposure, allocate reserves, warn policyholders in threatened areas, and prepare claims operations ahead of landfall.

Insurers make more confident decisions, better protect policyholders, and most effectively manage hurricane-related losses with earlier, more reliable forecasts than any other source.

Snow Warning Service™

Reduce winter-related claims by utilizing the most precise, location-specific snow and ice forecasts in the industry, tailored to insurer-defined thresholds.

Insurers send advance snow and ice alerts to customers in impacted locations, encouraging actions such as salting surfaces or clearing snow to prevent slip-and-fall incidents and property damage.

With better timing and more accurate accumulation forecasts, insurers can reduce winter claims more consistently and lower liability exposure compared to generalized weather alerts.

SkyGuard^® Severe Weather Warnings

Deliver the most accurate and often earliest severe weather warnings available to protect people and property during tornadoes, hail, and damaging wind events.

When a tornado warning is issued, insurers use SkyGuard® to send immediate, location-specific alerts advising customers to take shelter and secure property.

Faster, more reliable warnings help insurers reduce the most severe claims and better protect lives and assets through timely action.

AccuWeather Data

Build better risk models and more accurate pricing using the most comprehensive and most detailed weather data available.

Insurers integrate AccuWeather’s real-time, historical, and forecast data, encompassing hundreds of daily and hourly variables, into their analytics platforms and customer-facing applications.

With more granular data and deeper historical coverage, insurers improve underwriting accuracy, enhance claims assessments, optimize pricing, and deliver a better customer experience.

Forensic Services

Verify past conditions with the most credible and court-trusted weather analysis available to support claims decisions and fraud prevention.

For disputed claims, insurers utilize AccuWeather Forensic Services to verify whether hail, wind, flooding, lightning, or snowfall occurred at a specific location and time.

Insurers achieve better claim validation, more effective fraud prevention, and the most defensible claim decisions, while maintaining policyholder trust.

AccuWeather gives insurers more time to act, better insight into risk, and the most accurate forecasts available, so losses are reduced before storms strike and claims are resolved faster after they pass
