CustomWeather Participates in U.S.B.R. WaterSMART Grant to Improve High Elevation Precipitation Forecasts for the Merced Irrigation District

MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CustomWeather, Inc., a specialized provider of high-resolution weather data and alert services, announced that they are participating in a grant as part of the Upper Merced River Watershed application to the Bureau of Reclamation's 2021 WaterSmart Cooperative Watershed Management Program Phase 1. CustomWeather’s role will involve research related to precipitation forecasting in the Merced Basin.

As part of a grant awarded to Merced Irrigation District, CustomWeather will be tasked with precipitation forecast enhancement, analytical work upstream in the Dry Creek Sub-basin to adjust forecast bias and precipitation procedures based on historical model data and observed data, as well as development of gridded storm precipitation comparative tools to analyze forecast data from MIDH2O and the California Nevada River Forecast Center.
