Winter is fast approaching and AccuWeather’s expert long range forecasters have released their latest predictions. Last year, warmth plagued most of the country during the holiday season and many retailers fell short of their sales predictions.

Was your business as prepared as possible for last year’s weather? Do you know what the upcoming forecast is calling for?

This year, things will be different. Holiday shoppers in certain locations of the country can expect a return to cold weather and snow.

Are you positioned to take advantage of weather opportunities and minimize weather-related risks to this year’s forecast? The AccuWeather Data Driven Decisions team of analysts use the power of meteorology, big data, and analytics to predict disruptions and ensure you are prepared for the holiday season.

Here is what you can expect to learn from the webinar and much more:

Find out what areas are going to have abnormal weather and how you can adjust.

Understand best practices on how other Fortune 500 organizations leverage insight about the impact of the weather on their location. Different geographical locations react to the same weather event very differently.

Learn how to provide a clear, Common Operating Picture (COP) for your organization since weather impacts all areas of a company (marketing, operations, supply chain, safety, and security).

Gain insight on how to be ahead of the weather by incorporating the long range forecast because basing your business decisions on normal seasonality or what happened last year can lead to the wrong decision.
