How many times have your paving operations been impacted by unforeseen weather changes — such as a sudden thunderstorm — that keep your employees from working? AccuWeather.com now offers the Planner, which puts decision-making tools in your hands with a complete two-week snapshot of the weather on one web page.

You can set your own weather alarms for specific conditions such as low temperatures or precipitation levels that may impact your daily work activities, or to help with effective allocation of resources for increased productivity during times of good weather.

Colorful graphs and charts make the weather data easy to view and understand, with comprehensive summaries of detailed forecasts and historical data for every one of the 43,000 zip codes nationwide — for relevant, site-specific information.

Companies with several business locations can access the latest forecasts nationwide to support operations. By entering multiple zip codes into the Planner, you receive complete weather information for any location as needed for business, travel and other needs. You can also pre-set locations on the Planner site to customize the information needed at a glance.

Automatic historical comparisons will also save time. At-a-glance users can compare the effect of weather on jobsite needs, such as staffing and materials, based on the same time period from previous years. This quick and easy access to comparative weather information simplifies operational planning.
