Every mountain
has a pattern.

We’re building the forecasting system that learns it.

Atmospheric guidance. The character of a mountain. Evidence from every storm. Connected to make mountain weather more useful.

The forecasting method

Forecast. Observe.
Learn the mountain.

Terrain changes what a storm delivers. Our planned system will compare weather models, account for mountain exposure, and learn from verified outcomes.

Start with multiple models.

Different weather models offer different views of a storm. Our planned Ensemble Engine compares their precipitation, temperature, wind and timing. Agreement and disagreement help describe the range of possibilities; learned weights will depend on the mountain, forecast horizon, storm type and verified performance.

Multiple models are the foundation. How we weight, correct and verify their guidance is the work.

Our architecture, illustrated. Adaptive weighting, mountain corrections and calibration are under development; current location forecasts use direct public guidance.
