North Ridgeville, Ohio- The City of Pittsburgh is receiving year-round weather support. It’s to increase efficiency and save time and money. The Cleveland based weather forecasting and consulting company, Neoweather, LLC partnered with several Department of Public Works in November.
Neoweather provided Pittsburgh with detailed weather forecasts all winter and will continue keeping the Steel City ahead of flooding, hail, wind threats for the warm season.
Mike Gable, Director, City of Pittsburgh / Department of Public Works says “We lost the services of a long-time weather forecasting vendor for this 2019-2020 Winter Weather Season, but NEOWeather LLC stepped in and we have not missed a beat. NEOWeather LLC filled a void with their very detailed forecasts and data. So much so, that we are very confident determining the resources we need to commit to the winter event be it snow or ice, or both. And there is no lack of updated information keeping us as current as possible on weather conditions.”
The forecast information goes well above and beyond free sources like weather apps and TV weather reports. Neoweather sends impact-specific documents, such as Warning Details, First Looks and Forecast Breakdowns. These forecasts not only go over temperatures, winds and snowfall during events, but also how roads and bridges will likely be affected.
Phone apps and TV forecasts might say 1-3” of snow is likely. Neoweather can pinpoint only a quarter inch might actually add up on secondary roads because of mild pavement temperatures between a certain time range. They help answer if the City will need to plow or just salt. It saves money if just a little salt is needed because temperatures quickly warm up after the snow. These are just a few examples of a private weather service’s advantage.
Consulting support: Pittsburgh and dozens of other clients are able to ask Neoweather questions. Emails, phone calls and text messages get responded to quickly. This allows clients to receive peace of mind while making thousand-dollar decisions on staffing, application of deicer, and more!
