When severe weather threatens operations, manufacturers need to make high-stakes decisions with the best, most accurate forecasts available from AccuWeather

Unnecessary shutdowns, disrupted supply chains, and stalled logistics can cascade into millions of dollars in losses—often without a single facility ever being impacted. At the same time, weather-related safety incidents expose organizations to increased legal, regulatory, and reputational risk.

AccuWeather provides an average of 16 minutes of advance notice for tornadoes compared to an average of only 8 minutes from the NWS. AccuWeather’s false alarm rate is 77% less.

Without the most accurate, location-specific forecasts, often with more advance notice, weather can force unnecessary shutdowns and delays.

$39,000 per hour for fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers, more than $2 million per hour for auto manufacturers.
Severe weather impacts key suppliers, triggering downstream production delays.
Weather-driven slowdowns or shutdowns delay or suspend shipments.
