StormSync Technology — Next-Generation AI Weather Engine

StormSync Technology powers the National Hazard Outlooks and Real-Time Alerts with an advanced blend of AI-driven parsing and deterministic logic. It interprets SPC convective outlooks, NHC tropical discussions, and live NWS warnings using a dual system: a precision AI parser and a fast non-AI categorizer.

How StormSync Technology Works

AI Parsing (SPC / NHC)

  • SPC: Extracts categorical risk levels by state — High, Moderate, Enhanced, Slight, Marginal, or TSTM.
  • NHC: Reads official tropical bulletins to extract position, winds, and pressure, assigning a risk scale from Extreme to Low.
  • Provides structured, consistent outputs that power the National Hazard Outlooks interface.

Non-AI Real-Time Parser

  • Processes all official NWS warnings instantly.
  • Categorizes by type (TOR/SVR/FLD) and assigns observed/PDS/emergency flags.
  • Designed for maximum speed and reliability with automatic fallbacks.

System Architecture

  1. Ingest: Fetch SPC outlooks, NHC discussions, and NWS alert feeds.
  2. Normalize: Standardize timestamps, geocodes, and hazard fields.
  3. Parse: AI interprets SPC/NHC; deterministic logic parses NWS alerts.
  4. Rank: Prioritize High/Extreme hazards for display.
  5. Deliver: Render results to the National Hazard Outlooks and Alerts pages.

AI & Color Categorization

StormSync Technology applies SPC-standardized risk colors for intuitive clarity:

  • High (Pink)
  • Moderate (Red)
  • Enhanced (Orange)
  • Slight (Yellow)
  • Marginal (Dark Green)
  • TSTM / No Risk (Light Green)

Innovation Roadmap

  • Expanded SPC/NHC parsing capabilities.
  • Probabilistic mapping and polygon rendering.
  • Smarter alert escalation using AI signal strength.
  • Explainable AI — transparent decision tracing.
