Accurately Track Storms
Instantly highlight areas of interest within a storm. Baron Storm Vectors use color-coded arrows to indicate a storm’s direction, high winds, hail, flooding, and possible tornadoes. Track a storm’s movement up to an hour in advance and know which communities will be affected by specific threats. Simply click on a storm vector to see a list of estimated arrival times, and create a plan to protect the community you serve.
Monitor Potential Tornadoes
Quickly identify areas where a tornado may be developing. Threat Net’s Critical Weather Indicators measure the precise amount of shear to detect rotating winds—a strong indication of possible tornadoes. They provide a clear visual warning of shear threats that gives you an edge when pinpointing and monitoring hazardous weather.
Historical Weather Data
An optional addition to your Threat Net account, Baron Historical Weather Data allows you to view archived radar, hail and tornado detection, flooding data and more from the last week, month or year—or even up to 8 years ago. Use this information to conduct severe weather exercises, replaying an event as it unfolded in real-time, or identify affected areas for more effective post-event response. When you request a free trial of Baron Threat Net, historical data can be included in your trial plan, giving you access to a variety of archived weather data from up to 7 days in the past.
See Where You Are in Relation to Any Weather
Tablet devices supported by 3G or 4G reception let you immediately see where you are in relation to any inclement weather. GPS combined with powerful storm tracking means you’ll always be aware of how and when the storm will reach you.
Road Conditions Forecast
Before winter weather or flooding strikes, knowing where travel problems may occur gives you much-needed time to prepare. Baron Threat Net’s exclusive Road Conditions Forecast data identifies the weather’s impact on roadways 24 hours in advance. From flooded and slippery conditions to ice and snow-covered roads, more time to plan means better safety for drivers, crews, and road-bound assets.
