HailPass

This service integrates open weather data sources (mostly NWS/NOAA plus impact reporters, with a small hail-specific ML model in development) to give Front Range residents a 5-10 minute heads-up before damaging hail arrives at their location. Prediction accuracy is still being tuned, with a target release of April 2027.

    “HailPass: https://hailpass.com similarly is a notify-before-pain service that integrates a bunch of open weather services (NWS/NOAA mostly, plus a handful of impact reporters and working on a small hail-specific ML model) to give folks on the Front Range 5-10m heads-up before damaging hail arrives at their location.”
