Weather and load context for tree failure analysis
Windward Tree brings mapped site information, localized weather observations, and historical storm context into a consistent workspace for professional review.
01Mapped site contextLocation-centered information for an orderly starting point.
02Localized weather contextObservations and historical storm information gathered for review.
03Professional interpretationEvidence organized to support—not replace—expert analysis.
A disciplined evidence workspace
A clearer starting point for professional review
Tree-failure investigations often begin with information spread across maps, stations, records, and timelines. Windward Tree is being developed to bring that context together in one deliberate workflow.
Conditions
Weather and storm context
Bring localized observations and historical storm information into the same review sequence.
Review
Orderly professional analysis
Keep the available context organized so the investigator can assess its relevance to the matter.
Professional use
Built around the investigator’s review—not around a predetermined answer
Locate
Begin with the property or failure location and establish the geographic frame for review.
Review
Examine the available weather, wind, storm, and mapped site context in a consistent workspace.
Assess
Apply qualified professional judgment to the record, its limitations, and its relevance to the facts.
Evidence in context
From the storm footprint to the individual site
A useful investigation keeps several questions separate: what occurred across the region, what was observed near the site, what condition the tree was in, and what the complete record supports.
- Establish the event windowOrganize observations, reports, and timing before drawing comparisons.
- Qualify the available stationsConsider location, elevation, exposure, measurement interval, and gaps.
- Return to the site evidenceUse weather context alongside—not in place of—the physical and documentary record.
An important distinction
Weather data and mapped site information provide context. They do not, by themselves, determine why a tree failed. Windward Tree is designed to support—and never replace—the qualified professional’s analysis.
Field notes
Practical reading for evidence-led review
Field note
Weather context is evidence—not a conclusion
A disciplined review separates recorded conditions, tree and site evidence, and the ultimate professional opinion.
Field note
Building a reliable weather-event timeline
Time zones, observation intervals, station metadata, and missing records all matter when reconstructing an event.
Field note
From storm footprint to site-specific review
Regional damage helps describe an event, but the analysis returns to the individual tree and the complete record.
