Questions crews ask

Where should we stage line crews ahead of tonight’s storms?

· North service territory · tonight

Stage at Millbrook by 18:00

At the Millbrook yard, by 18:00. Lightning probability over the Millbrook and Cedar Ridge circuits passes your 40% staging trigger at 18:45 and peaks near 70% around 20:00, with gusts to 45 mph on the Cedar Ridge feeder. The south territory stays under 20% all night, so its crews can hold. Keep linemen off the poles in the north from 18:45 until the predicted all-clear at 22:40.

Are wind gusts low enough to safely operate cranes and work at elevated heights?

· Midtown Parking Deck · today

No-go until 11:20

Not yet. Gusts at the Midtown Parking Deck reach 31 mph between 08:00 and 11:00, above your 25 mph crane limit. The window opens at 11:20 and holds through 17:00. Peachtree Yard is clear all day, so the elevated work can start there this morning.

What days this week offer viable 5-hour windows to tear off a residential roof and get back to watertight?

· Roswell re-roof · this week

Go · Tue and Thu

Two days. Tuesday 07:00–13:30 and Thursday 08:00–14:00 are dry at the Roswell re-roof with gusts under 20 mph, long enough to tear off and get back to watertight. Wednesday afternoon carries storm risk; a hail alert would reach you up to 55 minutes ahead, so keep that deck closed and leave the Milton repair for Friday.

When will we get the first frost?

· North fields · this week

Frost Thursday 05:40

Thursday, 05:40. The north fields drop below 32 °F at about 04:10 Thursday, bottom out near 30 °F at 05:40 and climb back above freezing after sunrise. Tuesday night holds at 39 °F and Thursday night at 36 °F, so Wednesday night is the one that matters. Cover the seedlings Wednesday evening and hold irrigation that night so the beds are dry when it hits.

Will our baseball fields be too saturated to play a game this Friday?

· Riverside Baseball Complex · Thursday

No-go Friday

Yes. 1.4 in of rain lands on the Riverside fields Thursday night, and the outfield stays above your playable saturation limit until Saturday noon. Friday's 16:00 game is a no-go; Saturday 15:00 is dry, drained and playable, so move it there. The turf crew can tarp the infield Thursday afternoon.

What the storm costs in utilities

Lineman safety
Utilities do not get to shelter and wait. Flash predicts lightning up to an hour ahead, so utilities pre-position crews and protect linemen.
Outage response time
When outages happen, Flash gives you better visibility into conditions so your teams can respond faster and more efficiently.
Asset damage
Flash gives utility teams advance warning of incoming lightning, wind, and severe weather so you can take proactive steps to protect critical assets.

Who brings Flash into utilities, and why

The titles that make the call, the problem they describe on the first conversation, and where they gather.

Who buys

Meteorologist
Operations and safety leads

When they buy No particular season.

The problem on the first call

Being proactive about severe and winter weather.
Crew safety: wind speed decides whether a crew goes up in a bucket truck, and heat advisories affect every outdoor crew.
Knowing where weather will hit, to stage crews before the event.
Vegetation management and tree-related outages.

RE+
The Utility Expo

Questions utility meteorologists ask

Yes, through the API, alongside the dashboard and mobile alerts.

Yes. Flash allows you to create and monitor multiple locations, making it easy to track conditions across fields, job sites, facilities, or service areas from a single platform.

The Weather Command Center is your central dashboard for monitoring weather conditions, tracking multiple locations, and receiving real-time alerts. It is designed for teams and operations that need a complete view of weather activity, allowing you to make faster, more informed decisions across sites.

Flash helps improve safety by giving you earlier visibility into dangerous conditions. Instead of reacting to weather after it arrives, you can anticipate risks like lightning and extreme heat and take action sooner to protect people, operations, and assets.

Flash is built on advanced modeling and real-time data inputs, delivering up to 99.6% prediction accuracy. The platform continuously updates lightning every 2 minutes and hail every 5 minutes, using over 30 integrated data signals to provide highly localized, reliable insights.
