Any severe weather reports (tornadoes, hail, wind) and other storm reports (flood, freezing rain, debris flows) and weather observation station data within x miles of the address; lightning data; observed precipitation; snowfall analysis; historical watches/warnings/advisories; fire smoke analysis; earthquake ShakeMaps will be listed.

Note: A problem at the College Park Data Center has caused an interruption in the flow of lightning data on the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction supercomputer during the period of 4/16/2024 to approximately 9am CDT 4/18/2024 resulting in lower lightning probabilities. Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) data is unaffected.

Disclaimer

Weather/CAT data is considered preliminary and should be treated as such. Official public hail reports of 0.75 inch or larger from the NOAA Storm Events Database are archived as they become available, typically on a 75-90 day delay. The National Weather Service (NWS) and the NOAA Storm Events Database do not guarantee the accuracy or validity of the information. Denial of claims should not be based solely on the information found within.  If you need certified weather data you will need to contact NCEI or a meteorological consulting firm. PLRB does not make coverage decisions. Insureds should never be told that they were provided or denied coverage because of the PLRB. Meteorological data collected from the PLRB must be interpreted by insurance professionals at your company along with other relevant facts in order to make coverage determinations. 


Observed precipitation, snowfall analysis, and fire smoke analysis data are loaded into the PLRB CAT database on a 1-2 day delay. Weather observation station data is loaded into the PLRB CAT database on a 7-14 day delay depending on when data becomes available from NCEI.
