Rapid Weather Delivers More Service for Commodity Brokers in 2006

While most weather services are completely automated, Rapid Weather has expanded its commitment to customer service by offering commodity brokers the opportunity to talk directly to a weather forecaster.

Rapid City, SD (PRWEB) February 23, 2006 -- Commercial weather provider Rapid Weather is expanding its commodity broker services for 2006. At a time when many brokers demand instant communication and quick decisions, Rapid Weather is bringing weather forecasters and clients closer together.

Rapid Weather's basic commodity service is a 40-day weather outlook prepared each week.

This year, Rapid Weather is introducing its Professional Service with features such as a twice weekly update of our exclusive 40-day outlook, a 14-day forecast for major growing regions of the country updated twice daily, and Rapid Weather's three month forecast issued each month.

Subscribers to the Professional ServicE can also call and talk to a forecaster any time between 6am and 5pm Monday through Friday.

"Often a trader needs very specific information," says Rapid Weather owner and meteorologist, Chris Orr. "Now, they can pick up the phone and talk to a forecaster who can answer those specific questions."

According to Orr, this level of personal service is designed to meet the needs of traders. "Our forecasters are trained to provide the very best information possible" says Orr. "Any individual or business can call and talk to a weather forecaster and get a rapid response. We understand that many decisions require very specific information and heavy reliance is placed of the weather forecast."

Rapid Weather's meteorologists are trained to provide accurate, detailed weather information. "Our forecasters will tell you the odds of re-seeding during the planting season, the chances of frost and freeze, precipitation amounts and coverage, as well as shifts in drought conditions," says Orr.

Orr says that Rapid Weather's meteorologists began making 40-day forecasts in the mid-1980s using proprietary methods for the agricultural and construction industries. According to Orr, customers are guaranteed that the information they get while talking to a forecaster is absolutely the most current.

Rapid Weather's forecast services are available on a subscription basis to anyone around the world. Rapid Weather's phone system includes cellular service, so that calls from some cell phones will be included in their regular plan instead of incurring long distance charges.
