Severe Weather

Automated workflow for investigating a severe weather event

When a user asks:

"What severe weather happened on May 7, 2024?"

the AI model will:

Step 1: Daily overview

Start with severe_weather_daily_analysis for a national summary.

Step 2: Drill into contours

Use severe_weather_contours_summary for area and severity breakdown, or severe_weather_contours_radius for map-ready GeoJSON.

Step 3: Verify with SPC reports

Cross-reference with severe_weather_spc_reports for NOAA ground-truth data.

Step 4: Visualize

Generate an interactive map with generate_severe_weather_quicklook:

"Create a quicklook map of the hail event on 03/10/2026 in the U.S."

Multi-day outbreak analysis

For extended events, use the multiday tools:

• severe_weather_multiday_area — track affected area over time
• severe_weather_multiday_intensity — monitor severity escalation

Long-term site history

For property-level exposure analysis:

• severe_weather_history_location — event history with thresholds
• severe_weather_location_1km — 1km grid history for HAIL or TORNADIC_STORM
