Our clients subscribe to our services because they like the seasoned, carefully-considered evaluations that Fox Weather is known for. This is especially valuable during storms when critical decisions weigh heavily on the weather forecast, and at other times such as frosts and freezes, when a measure of forecast confidence is of prime importance. Fox Weather specializes in analysis products. Site Specific Weather Forecasts and Observations Fox Weather provides site-specific weather forecasts that use data collected from Adcon Telemetry weather stations, and have written our own software to port the Adcon data into our models. We routinely access a number of agricultural weather stations in central and northern California and provide site specific forecasts in support of agricultural pesticide management and fruit frost operations.
Agricultural operations require high quality observations delivered in an easily accessible format.
In cases of storms moving into our areas of responsibility, e.g. northwestern, central or southern California, Arizona or western Mexico, if there is substantial difference between the Weather Service's prognosis and ours, we will write an extra justification explaining the difference. Most of the time, we try to remain close to the NWS's general solutions unless there is compelling reason to differ. We are sensitive to the confusion that can be caused by widely divergent forecast solutions. We see it as a collective responsibility for us as a private firm and the NWS as a public agency to provide our clients with the best and most complete a picture of evolving weather situations to make the most informed decisions possible. This is best served when the private firm and the National Weather Service maintain a complementary relationship.
