In the field
What do the people running the sites say?
The people making the call are outside, with a sky like this over them.

“Flash Weather AI has completely transformed how we’ve operated events this year, from the spot-on lightning prediction and return-to-play guidance, to pinpoint timing from the Flash forecasts while looking at incoming precipitation and severe weather. The stress of adjusting event schedules on the fly is now a thing of the past. There’s been simply no contest to Flash AI’s real-time insights since adding it to our event workflows.”
Events & outdoor sportsNick WilliamsDirector of Competitions · Big 12 Conference 
“Flash Weather has been a tremendous resource for helping us plan and make informed decisions around weather conditions, especially lightning and heat. Being able to see when lightning is predicted in our area allows us to plan ahead and keep our athletes, coaches, and staff safe. The five-day Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) forecast has also been extremely valuable for our fall sports, giving our coaches the information they need to prepare for heat conditions well in advance. Flash Weather has become an important tool in helping us stay proactive rather than reactive when it comes to weather.”
SchoolsJeff BissenActivities Director · Glenwood Community High School, Glenwood, Iowa 
“I was skeptical at first, but this has been awesome to have in my bag since last spring. I was able to get kids out on the field sooner because of a weather delay and keep officials and teams updated throughout; it made me look like a weather magician. I have even had school district admin calling me this fall when they were concerned about a potential weather situation that could impact school dismissal to see what the next 30 minutes were going to look like. I would recommend this to any AD as an additional tool to have in your bag.”
SchoolsNic TroupeAthletic Director · Pinnacle Charter School 
“It has made it easier to communicate with coaches on weather delays. They have access to see and plan ahead with the lightning predictors that makes it more efficient so we make the most of our time.”
SchoolsAndrew VireGravette School District 
“Flash gives our teams a predictive picture rather than a reactive one, and we are pleased to make it available to Troon-managed properties through our preferred vendor program.”
GolfRyan PensyVice President, Strategic Partnerships · TroonSource: GlobeNewswire, 22 Sep 2026 (opens in a new tab) (opens in a new tab) 
“Knowing what is coming before it forms changes how we manage the golf calendar and how quickly we can get members and guests back out.”
GolfJosh LowneyGeneral Manager · Westchester Hills Golf ClubSource: GlobeNewswire, 22 Sep 2026 (opens in a new tab) (opens in a new tab) 
“FLASH brings us the peace of mind to know that we are protected. We are alerted well in advance of when lightning is coming instead of waiting for it to strike. The whole team has been great to work with and didn’t rest until we were fully satisfied with the install.”
GolfCorey JohnsonDirector of Golf · Bocaire Country Club 
“It gives us the confidence of knowing we are keeping our golfers safe, while allowing us to continue delivering first-class tournaments for our PGA Members and their guests.”
GolfCasey LitwackDirector of Tournament Operations · PGA of America, New England Section 
“Flash AI is one of the greatest technologies I’ve seen in a while. It’s more accurate than any other hail map. I stand behind it 100%. This is a game-changer for the industry.”
RoofingWill GambleInfinity Roofing 
“Flash Weather AI's real-time, highly accurate data and 'All Clear' feature have streamlined our operations, maximizing operating time and guest satisfaction.”
