Actual RainfallAccuWeather Enterprise Solutions Forecast

Our hearts go out to those who have experienced losses

to their businesses and homes, as well as other impacts from

this record flood event. But, the effects would have been

so much worse without superb, advance weather forecasts.

In the historic images of miles and miles of floodwaters,

it is hard to envision the trains that did not derail, the

implementation of business continuity and safety plans,

and other work that mitigated the effects of this disaster.

AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions began issuing our

Storm Potential Notices three days before the rains began

falling. Compare our forecast, below, issued at 3:23pm

on October 1, 2015, more than 24-hours before the heavy

rains began in coastal areas and 48-hours before they

began in the Midlands. Even though this event set records,

the correlation between the forecast and actual rainfall

amounts is extraordinary.

No matter how extreme or unusual the weather, AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions employs state-of-the-art weather

science to provide our clients the information they need to make critical decisions to protect their people and assets.

Call us today. After all, the next storm may already be on the way.
