The Weather Company enhanced The Weather Channel app with a new premium feature, Probabilistic Snowfall, that equips users with data about the likelihood of a range of snowfall outcomes up to 72 hours in advance so that they can plan accordingly.
The AI-powered Probabilistic Snowfall feature is available first on iOS, and it delivers insights that will help business owners, commuters and parents make better decisions. "Our probabilistic forecasting helps people see and understand all possible outcomes, reducing the potential for misalignment between the forecast and what's actually happening outside," said Peter Neilley, Ph.D., director of weather forecasting sciences and technologies at The Weather Company.
This new feature expands upon The Weather Channel app's dynamic Activities Forecasts, and health and wellness forecasts focused on allergies, breathing conditions, and UV exposure.
