The Advantage of AccuWeather's Advance Notice

On April 14, 2024, severe thunderstorms brought damaging winds and hail to western Pennsylvania and far eastern Ohio, including near and north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as well as Youngstown, Ohio. Three days ahead of the storms and one day ahead of the National Weather Service's (NWS) Storm Prediction Center (SPC), AccuWeather was the first to identify that the impacted region was at risk from severe thunderstorms on April 14.

AccuWeather forecasts stated, "a heavy thunderstorm, thunderstorms can bring hail and damaging winds," while the NWS predicted, "showers and a chance of thunderstorms," and the SPC forecast said "potential too low," and no further detail was provided in their discussion. 

The greater advance notice provided by AccuWeather enabled AccuWeather For Business customers to better prepare for these severe thunderstorms.
