Welcome to Applied Weather Associates

We specialize in Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) studies, Hydrometeorology analysis, Hydromodel Calibration, Storm Analysis, Dynamic NEXRAD Radar analysis using SPAS, Forensic Meteorology, and Weather Modification.  All of our site-specific and regional PMP studies have received regulator (Federal/State/Local) approval or are in the process of being approved.  For a look at our current and most recent list of work, please go to the Projects page. 

Our unique SPAS Real-Time application, which allows for state of the science storm analysis for use in hydrological calibration, modeling, inflow forecasting, Real-time Depth-Area-Duration analysis, and many other applications, is now being beta tested.
