Pictures from LARSGIS last week! Great connecting with the GIS community and sharing how real-time weather can be embedded directly into ArcGIS workflows. Missed us there? Reach out anytime: baronwx.com/4e2Vbmj

Missed our last webinar with @Esri? Join our next one! Next up, we’re focusing on hurricane season—and what’s at risk. Using real-world examples from Hurricane Helene and the Texas Fourth of July floods, you’ll learn how to: • Combine tropical forecasts, rainfall, wind, and flood intelligence with operational data • Identify communities, facilities, and infrastructure at risk • Support faster decisions with real-time monitoring and alerts using ArcGIS tools 📅 May 6 | 11 AM ET 🔗 Register now: baronwx.com/41H2t7R

It’s not just the weather — it’s what it impacts. In @Esri's Emergency Management Partner Showcase, Baron's @JessStumpf walked through how integrating weather into ArcGIS helps teams move from awareness to action. Read the 3 key takeaways and watch her 15-minute segment: baronwx.com/4mzNLJh

Large hail has already been prolific and damaging through the first part of 2026, with a noticeable shift farther north from its historical average. See how our hail data layers combine reports and probability to help track threats as storms evolve — with updates every five minutes. Explore more: baronwx.com/4mL23Hj

A look at what we’ve been showing at the @NABShow this week: • Turn your forecast into a 24/7 channel with Stream24Cast • AI-powered content support for faster workflows • Weather data that connects the forecast to real-world impact Last full day tomorrow — stop by, see it live, and connect with the team! 📍 West Hall | Booth W2500

Hope to see you out here!

Good morning from Las Vegas

Opening the weekend in (7-inning) style! 🤩

Radar coverage isn’t complete, and those gaps matter. Next week, Jon will be presenting at the 2026 @alert_users Conference on how terrain, distance, and network tradeoffs still leave blind spots in precipitation monitoring and what it takes to close them. Aligned with this year’s theme, “Floods, Fires, and Forecasting,” it’s about turning missing data into better decisions 📍 Improving Weather Radar Coverage to Monitor Precipitation 🗓️ Thursday, April 23 | 3:30 PM PT

@Chris_Widlic Congratulations, Chris on a great career. You are a pros pro! It was an honor to work with you and I always enjoy our chats. Best of luck to you in your retirement.

Some say you’ll know when it’s time. After 40 years in TV, that time to retire has arrived for me. From interning at KUSA in Denver, to stops at WVVA in Bluefield, West Virginia, WCIA in Champaign, Illinois, WISH-TV and, for the last 10 years, CBS4 in Indianapolis (1)

Budget cycles happen on a schedule. Weather doesn’t. Another storm, flood, or high-impact event will test your systems, your teams, and your decisions. So why do so many organizations wait until after the fact to invest in better weather decision support? We break down the gap between awareness and action — and what it takes to move from reactive to proactive. Read how to break the cycle: baronwx.com/4cs1wW3

Hallo aus Deutschland! Join Marc and Matt at the @Esri International IMGIS Conference in Frankfurt, where we’re showcasing how Baron Weather integrates with ArcGIS to support infrastructure planning, monitoring, and response. From real-time weather intelligence to advanced geospatial insights, see how Baron helps teams better understand risk and make more informed decisions. If you’re attending, we’d love to connect!

Weather is one of the most impactful — and often underutilized — variables in GIS workflows. Let’s change that. TODAY: Join Dan and Megan at LARSGIS, where they’ll demonstrate the insights you can gain by incorporating weather data into the systems your team already uses — including ArcGIS Pro, Online, Velocity, and GeoEvent Server. Learn how to automate alerts, reduce manual monitoring, and turn GIS workflows into decision-ready tools. 📅 April 14 | 🕓 4 PM Not there this week? Connect with our team anytime!

Happening tomorrow — see why the right tech integrations matter! Baron Weather’s @JessStumpf is joining @Esri's Emergency Management Partner Showcase to show how connected insights are transforming how first responders and emergency managers operate, from situational awareness to faster decisions on the ground.

A month ago, spring severe weather showed up earlier — and farther north — than usual. Our latest blog breaks down the Kankakee Tornado inside ArcGIS and shows how weather intelligence can help teams and systems stay ready before, during, and after an event. Read it here: baronwx.com/4mn5fZv

Where is your safe place? Ours is our operations center, which is our designated storm shelter. Today, the Baron team is joining @NOAA and the @NWS in the #SafePlaceSelfie campaign to highlight one of the simplest and most important ways to stay safe: knowing your safe place before hazardous weather happens. Share your #SafePlaceSelfie and help encourage others to be prepared!

Real-time decisions depend on connected insights. On April 14, Baron Weather’s @JessStumpf will join @Esri's Emergency Management Partner Showcase to explore how connected tools and integrated insights within ArcGIS can support faster, more informed decisions. From situational awareness to operational coordination, this is a great opportunity to see how integrated technology can support emergency management operations before, during, and after an incident.

Hurricane season preparation starts now. Join us on May 6th for our webinar with @Esri and learn how real-time weather intelligence inside ArcGIS can support stronger operational decisions before the storm arrives. If you support public works, parks and recreation, transportation, utilities and water works, state and local government, telecom, schools, EMS, fire, police, or emergency management—this session is for you!

Great job! 🍢🔥

The average high in Indy in the 1st week of April is 60. This week has been 70s and low 80s. Perfect spring weather for Final Four activities, unless you are one of those who prefer 100+. Also, the game is indoors…🤷‍♂️
