A broader event window
What if the important event happened earlier?
A tree may finally fail on a relatively calm day even though the damage process began during earlier loading. The event worth examining could be two days, two weeks, or two months before the reported failure.
Windward Tree preserves the primary incident date while bringing earlier weather and storm context into view. Where applicable, the app automatically georeferences historical storm reports, calculates their distance from the subject site, and links back to the source data—helping the professional decide which events merit closer investigation.
One workspace, many sources
Stop rebuilding the weather record from scratch
Each new matter brings a new record to assemble. Compare observations, historical storm reports and site context, then organize the findings for professional review.
Event window
Reconstruct the timeline
Bring time-specific wind and precipitation observations into the period selected for review.
Regional setting
Map the storm context
Automatically georeference applicable historical NOAA/NCEI storm reports, calculate site distances, and link back to the source data.
Site orientation
Orient the site
Mark subject-tree and site locations alongside elevation and modern aerial imagery.
Earlier and long-term context
Look backward—and long term
Review earlier events and build 15- and 30-year wind roses for longer-term directional context.
Reviewable output
Create a coherent record
Bring maps, source context, and summaries together in professional PDF reports.
Built for questions. Open to scrutiny.
The station matters.
The date matters.
The source matters.
Windward Tree automates the repetitive research and keeps those details visible for professional review. Different sources answer different questions; a clearer record helps you evaluate their relevance and explain your reasoning.
01
Station observations
Wind & precipitation
What it contributesConditions recorded at a particular station, during a particular interval.
What still needs judgmentHow that station relates to the site. A nearby observation is not a measurement at the tree.
02
Storm reports
Event & location
What it contributesHistorical reports automatically georeferenced where applicable, with site distances and links to the source data.
What still needs judgmentThe report’s timing, location and relevance to the individual property.
03
Site context
Imagery & elevation
What it contributesA geographic frame for reviewing the site and surrounding landscape.
What still needs judgmentTree condition, site exposure and the physical evidence that requires qualified evaluation.
The value is a clearer record. The conclusion remains a professional responsibility.

A record others
can examine.
See how site context, station observations, earlier storm reports and wind history come together in a source-linked report.
- See the station basis. Distances, elevations and observation times make comparisons visible.
- Keep the timeline clear. Earlier storm review remains separate from the reported incident.
- Trace the record. Source links and retained review selections support closer examination.

For the questions on your desk
Different responsibilities.
A shared need for clarity.
Arborists & consultants
Place tree and site evidence within a broader weather record. Explore the incident window, earlier events and long-term wind context as part of your evaluation.
Attorneys & experts
Examine the weather sources behind an account of events. Identify differences in timing, location and measurement that deserve a closer question.
Claims professionals
Organize weather and geographic context around a reported loss. Build a clearer factual setting for further investigation and qualified review.
Trust through traceability
Trust does not come from a stronger claim. It comes from a clearer record. Windward Tree keeps evidence connected to its source, location, and timing so professionals can see what is documented, recognize what is missing, and decide what the evidence supports.
Field notes
Better investigations begin with better questions
Source-led guidance for building timelines, interpreting storm evidence, and keeping professional judgment at the center of the review.
Field note
Weather context is evidence—not a conclusion
Learn how to separate recorded conditions, site evidence, and professional opinion without overstating any source.
Field note
Building a reliable weather-event timeline
Build a traceable event timeline that preserves time zones, measurement intervals, station metadata, and gaps.
Field note
From storm footprint to site-specific review
Move from regional storm damage to the site-specific questions that determine what the evidence can support.
