AccuWeather alerts, first, are the most accurate and reliable when safety matters.

AccuWeather's expert team of meteorologists provided the most accurate and consistent forecast about snow that impacted Chicago the first week of December. AccuWeather's forecasts, backed by Superior Accuracy™, correctly called for no accumulation expected in the downtown area, with a coating to an inch in the northwestern suburbs. 

After not forecasting any snow for days, our competitors started forecasting up to several inches of snow. When the snow didn't fall as predicted, our competitors changed their forecast, removing snow completely.

Businesses are better prepared to make the best weather-impacted decisions every time only with AccuWeather.

The weather event showcases the unique ways AccuWeather provides customers value by giving them the most accurate information so businesses can be better prepared. Businesses not using AccuWeather would have been confused about how to prepare because of our competitors' inaccurate and frequently changing forecasts. 

After not forecasting snow, our competitors incorrectly forecast snow accumulations for the city of Chicago and surrounding areas late December 8 before taking the accumulations out first and then December 9. 

This weather event proves that using AccuWeather allows you to avoid false alarms, access a one-on-one consultation with our experts, and have the best weather information at your fingertips to make the best weather decisions. 

Forecast AccuWeather Competitors What Occurred
Downtown Chicago 12/8 for 12/9 Little to no accumulation Around an inch to up to 2.6 inches Little to no accumulation
Northwestern Suburbs 12/8 for 12/9 1 - 3 inches to up to 5.2 inches Reports of .5” inch to .8”/Coating to an inch
