1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring a number of inputs received into a weather information system, wherein each input is received from an entity and is associated with a geographic region;
determining a high likelihood of a presence of a weather event in proximity to the geographic region when the number of inputs for the geographic region exceed a pre-established input threshold for the geographic region;
requesting weather data from one or more weather devices in the geographic area in response to the determined high likelihood; and
generating a signal indicative of an actual or expected presence of the weather event in proximity to the geographic region based on analysis of the weather data.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of identifying weather events in geographic regions of interest includes monitoring queries to a weather information system. The queries contain at least one field indicative of a geographic region of interest. A signal indicative of the presence of a weather event in the geographic region of interest is generated when the number of queries pertaining to the geographic region of interest is above the statistically determined value.

12. A system comprising:
-
at least one server containing weather information including weather event information for a plurality of geographic regions; a storage device coupled to the at least one server configured to store a pre-established threshold for a geographic region; and a processor coupled to the at least one server configured to; monitor a number of inputs received into the system, wherein each input is received from an entity and is associated with the geographic region; determine a high likelihood of presence of a weather event in proximity to the geographic region when the monitored number of inputs for the geographic region exceed the threshold for the geographic region; request weather data from one or more weather devices in the geographic area in response to the determined high likelihood; and generate a signal indicative of an actual or expected presence of the weather event in proximity to the geographic region based on an analysis of the weather data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
