Was responsible for monitoring short- and medium-range weather conditions for a portion of the east coast.Thoroughly and quickly analyzed rapidly-changing meteorological data in real-time to provide short-term warnings for severe/impactful weather. Continuously monitored trends in numerical prediction models, radar, and satellite data to provide 5-day weather forecasts to clients to assist them in planning for meteorological phenomena.Completed snowfall and ice reports following winter storms to enable clients in making accurate billing decisions.Developed a web tool that automated the creation of snowfall forecast maps for clients in Python, PHP, and JavaScript.
