Flash is the only platform that predicts lightning before it strikes. Traditional radar shows scattered showers and rain cells. Flash's patented FirstStrike model identifies the cells about to produce lightning and tells you where and when, up to 60 minutes in advance. Coverage runs across the full CONUS at 1×1 km resolution with two-minute refresh, and accuracy comes in at 99.6% on the 1-hour prediction window. The Lightning Suite is built around five core products. Nearest Strike and Detection gives you real-time strikes and distance anywhere in the country. The Lightning Threat Forecast and Trend shows rolling threat level and direction of travel. The First Strike Forecast Map shows where the first strike will land before it does. The All Clear (Go / No-Go) Map turns the data into a single operational answer for dispatchers and field crews. The 1-Hour and 5-Hour Lightning Probability maps add hi-res shading by time horizon for longer-range planning. Push, SMS, and email alerts fire on prediction, not just detection, so operations have time to react before the strike, not after. For schools, athletics, golf courses, utilities, construction sites, and any team responsible for outdoor safety, the gap between detect and predict is the difference between a controlled pause and a liability event.
