First off: Core Information is Always Free
Our core reason for being online is to provide timely, accurate, hype-free coverage of weather in Kansas. Because of that we take care to provide data and analysis in an easily-digestible format, along with explanatory graphics and photos. That way you will have the information you need to make the decisions you need to protect life and property.
For Members, We Go Beyond the Core Information
Weather Enthusiasts
Studies show about 30% of people take a deeper interest in weather. While they’d probably never venture to forecast, they putting together the knowledge of many sources into their own take on just what will happen.
Public Safety
This group needs as in-depth information as they can get from multiple sources, in order to plan. This could involve staging resources, alerting on-call staff, and many other actions. The in-depth coverage we provide is part of their toolkit.
We produce additional graphics, detail our analysis more thoroughly, and present it in a fashion that meets the needs of two groups:
This information takes us longer (at times MUCH longer) to produce than the core information. These groups tell us having a paid option for more in-depth coverage is valuable to them.
Membership is a way to meet everyone’s needs.
