Patent Images
1. A method of producing informational weather notifications based on a weather forecast, the method comprising:
- obtaining aggregated forecast data corresponding to a geographic location, wherein the aggregated forecast data comprises data for a plurality of notification categories;
comparing the weather data to a first threshold condition for the at least one notification category, the first threshold condition taking into account aggregated forecast data relating to the at least one notification category over a predetermined period of time; and
if the first threshold condition is met for the at least one notification category, automatically producing an informational weather notification.

Abstract
An automated global weather notification system is provided. The automated global weather notification system is capable of obtaining observational weather data, including data form of forecast grids, and applying business rules and conditional variables to that data. Based on the business rules and conditional variables, notifications are generated. Relevant users are identified in particular geographic areas and notifications are delivered to those users via, for example, SMS, MMS, email, or other methods of electronic information delivery.
