What is Weather Pivot?
Weather Pivot is a weather monitoring and alert app for job sites and outdoor events. You add each site with its address, the hours you want it monitored and your limits. Weather Pivot then alerts you and your crew when rain, lightning, wind, heat or an official warning affects that site.
What does Weather Pivot help with?
Three things. Safety: lightning stops, official warnings, and wind and heat limits. Saving time and money: make the call the night before or before the shift, so crews aren’t sent to sites that get rained out and work isn’t ruined by weather the forecast saw coming. Weather evidence for delay claims: a time-stamped record of each day weather stopped work.
Who is Weather Pivot for?
Anyone who needs to keep an eye on the weather at a place they can’t watch themselves: contractors and crews, event and tent rental companies, sports leagues and camps, property managers, and parents keeping track of the weather at a practice or game.
How does Weather Pivot know when rain is coming?
It checks live NOAA radar every few minutes during each site’s monitored hours and estimates when rain will reach the site. For later in the day it uses the NOAA hourly forecast.
How much warning do rain alerts give?
Rain alerts go out from about 15 minutes to 2 hours before rain reaches the site. Once rain is within an hour, the alert gives an estimated arrival window, such as 10:26 to 10:56 AM.
How does lightning monitoring work?
Weather Pivot monitors a national lightning detection network around each site during its monitored hours. A strike within 10 miles puts the site at NO GO and starts a 30-minute all-clear countdown. Each new strike within 10 miles restarts it, and the all clear is sent automatically.
Does Weather Pivot replace National Weather Service warnings?
No. National Weather Service warnings for your site come straight through and are never held back. Weather Pivot adds site-specific timing and your own limits. It does not replace official warnings or your safety plan.
How do crews get alerts?
The account owner gets alerts in the app. Crew members get text messages and email, up to 10 people per site, with no app or login needed.
What is the Weather Delay Evidence Report?
A time-stamped record of each day weather stopped work at a site. It brings together your crew’s stop and resume times, readings from the nearest NOAA weather station, radar rain estimates, lightning detected nearby, National Weather Service warnings and the alerts Weather Pivot sent, and compares the month with normal weather for that location. You can export it as a PDF for a daily log, a client, a delay notice or a delay claim, or as a spreadsheet. It starts as preliminary and updates when NOAA publishes its final data.
