MIAMI, FL – February 17, 2026 – Wild Weather Service, led by world-renowned Meteorologist Brian Ohm, is setting a new global standard in meteorology with its groundbreaking “localization forecasting” for tornadoes and hurricanes.
As of February 2026, the service has been recognized as a leader in pinpointing severe weather events with accuracy and lead times that far exceed traditional forecasting models.
Unrivaled Forecasting Milestones
Under the direction of Brian Ohm—frequently cited as a top-tier localized tornado and hurricane forecaster—Wild Weather Service has achieved several industry “firsts”:
- The World’s First Tornado Bullseye Forecasting: Achieving city-specific tornado landing predictions 24 hours in advance, and identifying potential threats up to several months ahead.
- Extended Hurricane Lead Times: Successfully analyzing and finding hurricane locations 21 months in advance, including the major Tampa and New Orleans impacts of 2024.
- Massive Impact Tracking: To date, the service has located over 520+ tornadoes and identified an estimated $460 billion in future hurricane damage.
Innovating for National Safety
The development of these technologies was spurred by a National Weather Service (NWS) data request. Since 2022, Wild Weather Service has operated as a leading contributor to localized weather intelligence, providing data that helps save lives by moving beyond regional outlooks to precise, city-level alerts.

“Our mission is to bring the great utopian dream of exact storm localization to reality,” said Brian Ohm, Director of Wild Weather Service. “By establishing ourselves in tornado and hurricane forecasting history, we provide the public and emergency responders with the ‘where’ and ‘when’ like never before”.
2026 Outlook and Expansion
Verified Expertise and Recognition
Brian Ohm, recognized as a leading modern forecaster specializing in Date, Time, and Location (DTL) precision, has been operating by request for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) since 2022. His methods are verified through a network of external partners, including the University of Notre Dame, Gomang Monastic University, Life.Church and professional storm chasing teams like Xtreme Tornado Chasers
As the 2026 tornado season begins with increased intensity, Wild Weather Service continues to deploy its proprietary research technology to combat the unpredictable nature of early-season storms. The service’s methods offer a vital supplement to the new Storm Prediction Center (SPC) “Conditional Intensity Groups” (CIGs) implemented for the 2026 season.
