Great @fastcompany.com feature from @adelepeters.bsky.social on the AI weather revolution. Worth a read whether or not you think about forecasting all day (...we do). www.fastcompany.com/91548095/ai-...

By now, you’ve probably heard about the historic March heat wave unfolding in the West Coast this week (unless you live under a rock, which would serve as a cool shelter from the heat). The forecast temps alone are impressive w/ many locations expected to break their all-time March heat records!

Public-private partnerships should complement government operations, not replace them. We recently worked alongside @cw3escripps.bsky.social and the AR Recon program as a massive atmospheric river barreled toward the West Coast. Read more about it on our blog: windbornesystems.com/blog/ar-recon

Just need to know weather or not you want to be our valentine?

Honored to be included in NASA's Scientific Ballooning Handbook 50th Anniversary Edition. From high-altitude research to operational weather forecasting. Excited for the next 50 years of innovation. Find the book here: ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20...

(1/4) You’ve likely heard of the upcoming major snow and ice storm expected to affect large swaths of the country this coming weekend. If you're heading to AMS 2026 (like our met team), you might be wondering how the storm may evolve. Let's use WeatherMesh-5c to look at the upcoming forecast.

Where traditional physics-based models might struggle, AI models can excel. WeatherMesh-5c spotted the NE forecast change earlier than other major model suites, becoming the first to abandon the Northeast warmup and correctly resolve the storm's big-picture evolution.

AI weather models are relatively new, and yet they're already outperforming traditional physics-based models at medium-to-long range forecasts by improving systematic biases that have limited forecasting in the past. Head to our blog to read more: windbornesystems.com/blog/models-...

We are honored to share that WindBorne Atlas was named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025. This recognition represents more than an award since it validates our mission to transform weather forecasting through innovative data collection technology. Here's to building a planetary nervous system!

What if better weather forecasts came from backyard balloon launches and AI? @windbornewx.bsky.social balloons collect 30x more data than gov. balloons, allowing the company to better predict extreme weather just when we need it most. Ben Tracy reports. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZzb...

Launch site checklist: - 1 shipping container - 1 hardware store run - 1 highly competent launch operator - 2 foot instruments (maraca and custom foot tambourine) to celebrate a successful setup

And just like that, Norman has a @windbornewx.bsky.social balloon launch site! We got a good sample of the cold front that passed through overnight. Looking forward to getting lots of good soundings from OK, esp. on severe weather days.

"As we’ve flown balloons closer and closer to tropical cyclones, we’ve noticed that there’s a thin layer of convergence in the upper troposphere, between approximately 8 to 10 kilometers in altitude." - John Little Read more about how we flew our GSBs into Hurricane Henriette on our blog.

You didn’t ask for it but we figured we’d deliver - footage and sounds from our Puerto Rico launch site team

GSB Constellation Growth 101: Have a stellar team willing to travel the distance, embrace the heat, & establish 2 new launch sites within a week Welcome to the family - Puerto Rico & Hawaii

so say we all! 🎈 Here’s a video from today’s summer community launch. Special shoutout to everyone who showed up!

Into weather? In the Bay? Come out on Wednesday for our Summer Community Launch 🫶🏻 RSVP on Luma - lu.ma/s4cb49va

From launching weather balloons out of a beat-up Subaru to outperforming European weather models by 37% 📈 Read about how we built WindBorne into the future of weather prediction (spoiler: AI + really good balloons) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/b... @nytimes.com @noaa.gov

Q: "How far in advance can you spot a record-setting East-Coast heat wave, and how steady is your signal run-to-run?” A: * WeatherMesh-4 showed a consistent signal for above normal temps 15 days out * IFS mean begins a consistent sig ~13 days * AIFS and GEFS mean begins a consistent sig ~11 days
