Solutions for Outdoor Events
WDS helps event teams decide when to open, pause, shelter, resume, and communicate with attendees before weather becomes a crisis.
4070 helps outdoor events teams connect the weather to the business call with forecast views, live radar and observations, operational alerts, and meteorologist support.
How outdoor events teams use 4070.
Forecasts, radar, alerts, and meteorologist support stay in one workflow, so the evidence and the recommendation do not drift apart when the day gets busy.
Alerts that come with a next move
Threshold-based alerting keeps outdoor events teams focused on the weather that can actually change the plan.
Forecast views that speak your language
Forecast views connect timing, thresholds, and site exposure to go or no-go calls instead of stopping at generic conditions.
Radar and observations without the scavenger hunt
Live radar, storm reports, lightning, and observations give leaders the evidence they need before changing the plan.
Meteorologists available 24/7 for critical calls
WDS stays involved before and during the call, with meteorologists available 24/7 when cost, service, timing, or safety is on the line.

Yes. WDS supports the operation before gates, during the event window, and through any delay, shelter, or restart decision that needs a fast call.
