Flash Weather AI is a pioneer in weather intelligence, leveraging cutting-edge AI and proprietary meteorological algorithms to provide predictive, real-time weather insights with updates every two minutes for clients spanning industries such as sports, construction, insurance and now turf management.
Garrett Bastardi and Herb Stevens, co-founders of T3, bring more than 20 years of forecasting experience in golf and business.
"Four years ago, T3 set out to revolutionize weather-related agricultural decisions by leveraging agronomy-centric, high-resolution weather data," Stevens said. "By joining the Flash Weather AI family, T3's tools will reach new heights and more businesses. Flash's use of AI to advance weather intelligence aligns perfectly with the vision T3 set at its inception. Together, we're building the most valuable safety and efficiency tool available for decision-makers."
Jason Deese, CEO of Flash Weather AI and former NOAA meteorologist, emphasized the importance of this acquisition.
"Two of Flash Weather AI's core principles are to create products the world has never seen and to translate complex weather data into actionable insights for businesses and consumers," said Deese. "Bringing T3 into the Flash family marks a great leap forward in both principles. T3 provides unique insights in golf agronomy, and combining their expertise with our AI enhances those insights as we expand into other aspects of agronomy and beyond. This is a big day for businesses that value safety and efficiency in their operations."
T3's state-of-the-art forecasting tools, specifically tailored for turf and agricultural professionals, integrate with Flash Weather AI's patented algorithms to offer precise, actionable weather data. The platform provides updates as much as 48 hours in advance on key metrics such as precipitation rates, soil temperature and moisture, frost formation and dissipation times, and dew severity. These and many other turf-centric forecasts enable turfgrass managers to stay ahead of weather variables impacting their operations.
