Forecast the future
From state-of-the-art hourly forecasts to detailed daily forecasts up to 15 days
out — and longer — we provide critical information to assist in business and
operational decisions.
MxVision WeatherSentry Energy Edition supplies accurate, detailed local
forecasts based on advanced model data technology that is managed by
experienced meteorologists 24 hours a day. Anticipate conditions up to 15 days
out, with hourly outlooks for the first three days. Forecasts are updated every
hour so that you always have the best, most current look at what will happen.
Forecasted wind speed, temperature, and more can be viewed as graphs. Set
thresholds to automatically highlight items of concern.
To assist in planning beyond 15 days, we offer highly-accurate, location-specific
temperature forecasts for up to two years out. These forecasts support electric
load and gas demand models for improved decision making — in the format you
need, for easy integration. Forecasts are updated frequently — daily for days 15
to 30, and are based on highly-accurate long-term forecast and climatological
science. Additional weather parameters and hourly forecasts are also available.
Number one load forecaster in the United States
The heart of our energy business is forecasting for load and gas demand
modeling. MxVision WeatherSentry Energy Edition is designed to complement
this load forecasting service.
Our load forecasts — the industry’s most accurate — are used by approximately
70 percent of U.S. IOU utilities. We deliver forecasts in the format that your programs
require. This is a complete service that includes ongoing delivery of observations and
phone consulting with the meteorologists at our energy desk, 24/7.

Next generation mapping
High-resolution, street-level mapping provides the
ultimate view of operational conditions. Simplified,
user-friendly navigation allows you to point and click
to drill down into the locations you wish to monitor.
Updated! Customize your weather views
In addition to forecasts, stay on top of current weather.
Monitor all weather on one innovative user interface —
temperature, humidity, cloud cover, and wind — for a
complete view of current and coming conditions.
You can select and display custom combinations
of weather and map data that are important to your
operations — including custom layers featuring your
key infrastructure to see how the weather is affecting
your operations and areas to which you supply
power. We’ve also added a new substation layer and
updated boundaries and transmission lines for even
greater situational awareness.
Full-screen display of maps and graphics provides
unmatched visualization. An exclusive weather slide
show keeps your staff on top of current conditions
while performing other tasks. In addition, we’ve
added a new multi-panel display option, which
shows you all of the information that you need on a
single screen, for faster, better-informed
decision making.
Successfully integrate wind energy
In addition to our load forecasts, our proprietary wind
power forecasts, created through a partnership with
WindLogics, can help you save money and utilize
more of your available wind energy. This unique,
add-on solution delivers superior accuracy while
requiring less observational data than competing
forecasts. It can help you better maintain system
reliability and efficiently integrate wind power into
your mix — minimizing costs associated with
variable sources.
New! Flood management tools
Improve flood preparation and response with new
customized alerts and colorized river stage and
discharge observations. See real-time ocean water
levels, river stage, and river discharge observations
as map layers. Hourly ocean water levels and wave
height forecasts and alerts help determine the
impact on your critical assets. Plus, stay on top of
developing threats with ocean tide predictions within
our hourly and daily forecasts — up to 15 days out.
