Questions about WeatherSnap?

A Weather Snapshot is a concise property-specific weather report designed to help you quickly review documented hail, wind, and tornado activity near a property and date of loss. It is intended as an efficient first step before deciding whether additional investigation or more comprehensive weather research is warranted.

A single Weather Snapshot is $5.99. The report can be reviewed online after purchase and downloaded as a PDF.

WeatherSnap is designed for insurance, restoration, roofing, construction, property, and other professionals who need a quick way to review documented severe-weather activity associated with a property.

WeatherSnap automatically searches available weather records after you submit the property address and date of loss. Most reports are generated within a short period of time, although processing time can vary depending on the weather records being reviewed.

WeatherSnap reviews a 31-day window centered on the selected date of loss: 15 days before the selected date, the date itself, and 15 days after.

The Weather Snapshot focuses on documented hail, damaging or severe wind, and tornado-related activity relevant to the property and review period. It also incorporates available nearby weather-station information and other supporting weather records.

WeatherSnap organizes information from authoritative governmental and meteorological data sources, including records made available by NOAA, the National Weather Service, the National Centers for Environmental Information, and the Storm Prediction Center.

Documented activity means WeatherSnap found a weather record in one or more of the data sources reviewed. The report presents the available record and its relationship to the property rather than independently determining whether a weather condition occurred directly at the structure.

WeatherSnap focuses on documented events within approximately 5 miles of the property. When no qualifying event is found within that area, the report may identify the closest documented event within approximately 25 miles to provide additional geographic context.

The selected date is only one part of the review. WeatherSnap also searches the surrounding 15 days before and after that date. If documented activity occurred elsewhere within the review window, those dates can help identify weather activity that may warrant additional investigation.

No. Weather observations and storm-event databases have geographic, reporting, and observational limitations. The absence of a documented event near a property should not be interpreted as proof that a particular weather condition did not occur.

Depending on the available records, a Weather Snapshot can include the property and date of loss, review window, documented event information, event proximity, hail and wind metrics, tornado-related activity, nearby weather-station observations, an activity map, event timeline, data-source references, and report verification information.

Weather-station observations and storm-event reports are separate records collected at different locations and sometimes through different reporting methods. WeatherSnap keeps these records distinct so the report does not imply that a wind measurement recorded elsewhere occurred at the subject property.

No. WeatherSnap documents available weather information. It does not inspect the property and does not determine whether damage occurred.

No. WeatherSnap does not determine property-damage causation, policy coverage, claim validity, or whether a weather event caused a particular condition at a property. Those determinations may require inspection, engineering, adjusting, policy review, or other professional evaluation.

No. WeatherSnap is intentionally designed as a concise screening report. Cases requiring broader historical research, specialized meteorological analysis, expert opinions, certification, or litigation support may require a more comprehensive weather investigation.

Yes. After purchase, the Weather Snapshot can be downloaded as a PDF for your records and is also sent to the email address associated with the purchase.

Each generated Weather Snapshot receives a unique Report ID. The identifier connects the report to its WeatherSnap record and helps distinguish it from other reports.

The QR code directs the reader to the WeatherSnap verification page associated with that Report ID. This provides a simple way to confirm that the report corresponds to a WeatherSnap record.

Yes. The downloaded PDF is designed to be saved and shared as part of your normal property, claim, inspection, or project documentation.
