Baron Weather

““In a hurricane, we want to pre-position our assets, so we need to determine where we think the disaster will strike,” Vatier said. “If it’s going to be a wind event, we’ll see more tree damage and use chainsaws to remove vegetative debris. We’re going to use a different cache and specifically skilled volunteers. If it’s a more water-based event, we will do more muck-outs. Knowing those threats and where they will hit will drive much of our decision-making.””

““Having that deeper analysis is helpful because it can help give perspective and help us make decisions further in advance,””

““Before, I would look at NOAA and NWS, read their assessments, and try to understand what they were saying by Googling.Now I can go in and say, ‘Ok, I understand this.’ I can see what it looks like, be in more control, and make my analysis.””

“We are very happy with the availability of the products – we have never experienced any serious outages or downtime, which is very positive for us.”

“The flexibility and versatility of the Baron Weather API has made it very easy to implement the service into our website and apps. We use APIs to obtain data from Baron and contact Baron support via email when needed. The support team has always been very helpful and quick to respond.”

““The automated solution is fast and accurate.””

“It’s a lot of work and a big investment, but it’s worth it,” he says. “Greater risk comes with greater reward, for us and for the people who rely on us.”

“Baron gives us the opportunity to provide the same quality of coverage we always have, but now we own the business and control the vision,” he says. “We can finally give viewers the in-depth coverage they’ve always wanted and really deserved. Especially in severe events, they want and deserve coverage for the entire duration. Now we can make that impact.”

“We’re already exceeding expectations,” Matt says. “I’m excited for the future, and a big part of that is because of the app.”

“I didn’t know how much more stable and reliable Lynx was until I used it,” he says. “If I could go back, I would have also changed my TV station to Baron years ago.”

““The easy-to-use features and ability to set specific warnings around key locations made it an obvious recommendation,” he said. “Baron has been so useful in our day-to-day operations. There’s definitely a benefit to emergency management leaders across cities using the same tool, it creates consistency and supports collaboration.””

““Construction teams, event coordinators, and other departments all rely on accurate weather information to plan and prepare for impacts,” Byron said. “Baron Threat Net makes it easy to customize alerts and track specific weather threats across key locations.””

““It gives a real-time picture of weather events in our city,” he said. “We have a valuable tool at our disposal, and we can customize it to fit our needs.””

““The data helped us decide to call for a voluntary evacuation on the West End of the Island,” Byron explained. “That part of Galveston isn’t protected by the seawall, so having accurate, real-time insight was critical.””

““Hurricanes, sudden thunderstorms from the Gulf, flooding, and even winter storms pose a severe strain on city resources,” Byron shared. “Having a real-time weather source is very important to us.””

““They’re missing out if they’re not using Baron.””

“With Lynx, we can attract more people to watch our forecasts. The visualization is very good, and we can show radar or maps of specific locations. This is essential for a country like Indonesia, where localized weather updates are critical.”

“With Lynx, we can improve the visualization; it is more dynamic. We can create simple yet effective animations, use templates to combine information, and quickly produce high-quality videos.”

“These improvements have increased our YouTube viewers. My friends have told me that they are interested in the new design for weather forecasting, and viewers say it is easier to understand the information we give them. We can also use our hand with the hand-tracking tool to highlight the weather we want, making it more engaging.”

“It was easy for us to show the other team members in the command center how to work their way through the filters and the programs.”

““This is just a great asset. I have categorized this program as a critical asset for my office to use in the community safety program.””

““I used to have to sit all day and just watch the radar when severe weather was around us. I don’t have to do that anymore,” claims Jones. “Here in the office, we can carry on with our normal daily duties.””

““I can look at different areas of the county and see where some areas are at more risk for future times, and I can get that information out specifically to those areas,” Jones says of his use of Baron Threat Net. “It’s changed my weather program.””

““The beauty of MAX is it provides context within which we make with our profiling observations, horizontal variations in other words. We can see what’s going on around profiler locations so we can put that into context. MAX provides that when we don’t have any other radar coverage,””

“"And the [Baron] model has been fundamental to our success," he adds.”
