We are Wet Dog Weather, a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that specializes in enterprise-level solutions for weather & sensor data dissemination and visualization.
Meandair Weather Models Now Available
We’re continuing to expand the specialized datasets available across our platform, including weather models from Meandair. By blending satellite imagery with multiple forecast models, these datasets provide more precise short-term cloud cover forecasts, along with forecasts of turbulence, precipitation, thunderstorms, and more. Available through Terrier, WCS, and Labrador, the data can be displayed, queried, and transformed for a wide variety of operational workflows.
Future Radar WCS Queries: A Practical Walkthrough
We’re taking a closer look at the data behind our future radar product and how future radar WCS queries work in practice. From MRMS reflectivity to advected forecasts, this walkthrough shows how to request, interpret, and apply the data.
Exploring Real-Time Precipitation Type in Alaska
Our future radar work in Alaska surfaced a familiar challenge: real-time precipitation type. While MRMS and radar sensors provide strong signals, gaps remain—especially when classification is missing. By blending radar with model data like HRRR and NDFD, we see a path toward a more complete and intuitive precipitation layer. It’s not perfect yet, but we’re ready to solve this problem when the need arises.
Introducing St. Bernard: Your EOC Weather Display Companion
St. Bernard is our purpose-built EOC weather display designed for emergency operations centers and command environments. It delivers real-time radar, wind, and environmental data to big screens—no complex setup, no cost, just immediate situational awareness when it matters most.
Future Radar in Terrier: How to Get Started
Future radar fills the gap between current conditions and short-term forecasts. In this post, we walk through how to use Future Radar in Terrier for Web, including how to display advected MRMS data and seamlessly extend your radar timeline.
Making Radar More Useful with Future Radar Data
Future Radar uses advected radar to show where precipitation is headed in the near term. It looks like radar, but adds just enough forward insight to make it more actionable, whether you’re building visualizations or triggering alerts.
Why Reliable Aviation Weather Data Matters for Flight Operations
Weather affects every stage of a flight, from planning and routing to landing at the destination airport. Aviation companies depend on reliable aviation weather data to monitor storms, icing conditions, turbulence, and cloud cover. When this data is easy to access and integrate into operational tools, flight teams can make faster decisions and reduce risk.
How Mixed Precipitation Types Form in Winter Storms
Winter storms rarely produce just one precipitation type. When warm and cold layers overlap in the atmosphere, they can create a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain across the same region. Understanding these mixed precipitation types starts with looking at the temperature profile between the cloud deck and the ground.
Sorting Signal from Slop in AI Code in Open-Source Projects
As AI tools flood GitHub, AI code in open-source projects is becoming harder to ignore. Some of it is genuinely useful when guided by a thoughtful developer. A lot of it, though, is automated drive-by slop that wastes maintainers’ time and adds noise instead of value.
Have a project in mind?
We are a Software as a Service company, and we charge accordingly. Our customers rent their own Boxer stack and gain access to our Terrier front-end libraries. We process a variety of standard data sets, which is…. standard. But we also process custom data you may buy or generate yourself. That’s where things get interesting
