System and methods for distributing real-time site specific weather information
First Claim
1. A system for providing real-time site specific weather information, comprising:
- a weather alert manager that receives meteorological data and combines said meteorological data with a geographical grid covering a predefined geographic area to produce a storm profile for a storm within said geographic area, said geographical grid including at least one cell associated with said geographic area;
one or more remote units, one of said one or more remote units being responsive to said storm profile for presenting real-time site specific weather information; and
a distribution network for distributing said storm profile from said weather alert manager to said one of said one or more remote units.

Abstract
A system for providing real-time site specific weather information comprises a weather alert manager that receives meteorological data and combines the meteorological data with a geographical grid covering a predefined geographic area to produce a storm profile for the storms within the geographical area, wherein the geographic grid partitions the geographic area into a plurality of cells. A distribution network distributes the storm profiles to remote units that are responsive to the storm profiles. The remote units are configured to process the storm profiles and present real-time site specific weather information based upon the storm profile. The storm profiles may include a cell identifier that identifies a cell of the geographic grid that is affected by the storm. In addition, the storm profiles may further include a storm identifier, a storm type identifier, and a presence qualifier associated with each cell identified.
