Clarity by BAM Weather
You spoke. We listened. Created from a desire to once and for all close the gap between automation and human driven weather forecasts, Clarity will give you as clear of a picture as possible of weather that will be impactful to you. Welcome to a reinvented weather forecast. With Clarity, you’ll have a more reliable and efficient way of getting forecasts.
WELCOME TO CLARITY
WHAT IS NEW:
A Personalized Weather Experience
Hourly Insights
Forecast insights have been added to the hourly forecast to give you direct commentary on forecast risks, details and where automated data may need to adjust. Never worry about whether an hourly forecast is right or wrong - a meteorologist will be able to put their direct input into the forecast and ensure you can be confident with your decisions.
Daily Insights
Insights on the daily forecasts have been added to allow our meteorologists to give more detailed commentary on the pattern ahead. Storm systems can shift, droughts can dry rains up and data won't always see it. The daily insights give you a new way to plan ahead more effectively and efficiently with BAM Weather.
Nowcasts
The most critical forecast information within Clarity will be in the NowCast section. Now casts give you pressing weather information as soon as you open the platform allowing you to ACT ASAP. Imminent weather impacts are often the most crucial information we provide and now instead of worrying about it being lost in a chat - it will be available as needed right on the Now Screen.

Order of Importance: Clarity Features
1. Now Casts
The Now Casts will likely be one of the first things you see in the app – and there’s a reason for that. Time sensitive and impactful weather information will go here for you to ACT as quickly as possible. We recommend checking here first for details on immediate or impending weather situations.
2. Chat Feature (Pro Subscription Only)
As with the Weather Porthole, the chat feature still provides the most value of all of Clarity’s feature. When it is time to make critical and expensive decisions for your operation, this still should be your go-to to ensure you have our meteorologists most customized and up-to-date thoughts for your exact location and situation.
3. Hourly Forecast Insights (Pro Subscription Only)
The hourly forecast insights increase the value of the hourly data in Clarity exponentially. Check for any forecast insights that may be active in your hourly data to get a better idea of where data may be missing the forecast or where our meteorologists have expanded on the forecast in more detail.
4. Hour-by-Hour Forecast Data
For the forecast within 24 hours, we also recommend checking hourly data before the 10-day app data. Always check for forecast insights first, but the hourly data should be your next stop before checking the day 1 forecast on the 10-day.
5. Daily Forecast Insights (Pro Subscription Only)
For the forecast within 24 hours, we also recommend checking hourly data before the 10-day app data. Always check for forecast insights first, but the hourly data should be your next stop before checking the day 1 forecast on the 10-day. We have designed this so you can stop guessing what a 30% chance of rain 4 days out truly means.
6. 10-Day Forecast
This will be where we recommend checking out a quick snapshot of the next 10 days. This data is comprised of dozens of computer models that allows for the most accurate forecast possible. As mentioned above, daily insights will be housed within the 10 day forecast. If you do not see an insight present for a day, that means the meteorologists agree with the automated forecast data on the 10 day.
7. Video Tab
The video tab will be where meteorologists provide an update on the pattern ahead. These are discussions lasting a few minutes that details risks, trends to watch for, our main concerns, timing, impacts, etc.
8. Future Radar Products (Pro Subscription Only)
Need a visual as to the forecast ahead? Check out the radar tab and the “future” layer. You will find future radar, winds, visibility, as well as rain/snow/ice forecasts going out the next week. We always recommend checking hourly/daily insights from our meteorologists first, but these tools are awesome visuals!

Clarity has been uniquely designed to give real, human forecast insights. So often, weather forecasts from free apps and competitors is completely automated. Automated data is still prone to major forecast errors and left unchecked can cause you to make costly decisions. You get to hear from a real person from the local news and the NWS, but they don’t give you the specifics you need for your specific operation.
With Clarity, we combine the latest technology with detailed forecast commentary directly from our meteorologists. If you need more info, you can simply send us a chat and we’ll provide you more specifics. Impending inclement weather? We’ll time out precise timing and impacts for you.
