How do I use view Weather Analytics?

Utility Impact Prediction provides Weather Analytics using the National Blend of Models (NBM) or High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR).

Weather analytics predicts weather conditions using wind, wet snow, ice, and heavy precipitation to support storm preparedness decisions. After navigating to the Utility Impact Prediction feature, Weather Analytics is set as the default prediction. 

  1. Select your Region or Utility from the drop-down. 
  2. Select NBM or HRRR for the forecast model.
  3. Select Wind, Wet Snow, or Ice for the forecast hazard. (NOTE: Heavy Precipitation is always displayed in the Time Series Hazard Table.)
  4. Select Start Date and Start Time (EDT)
NOTES:
    1. When selecting the date/time, it is in Eastern time, not UTC. 
    2. For the NBM and the HRRR, there are four (4) runs per day. 
    3. Each NBM run starts at 0100Z (2100 EDT of preceding day), 0700Z (0300 EDT), 1300Z (0900 EDT), 1900Z (1500 EDT) and is not available until a minimum of two and half hours after the selected time.  Run time processing is approximately 15 minutes. Prediction is up to 168 hours in the future. 
    4. For the HRRR, run time processing is approximately 15 minutes, and each run starts at 0000Z (2000 EDT of preceding day), 0600Z (0200 EDT), 1200Z (0800 EDT), 1800Z (1400 EDT) and is not available until a minimum of two and half hours after the selected time. Prediction is up to 48 hours into the future.
