Local weather from a trusted team

Fusion Forecasting in Seattle by Lead Forecaster Mark Ingalls 

Every day, our multi-state forecast teams provide daily, local weather to an engaged readership across all 50 U.S. states and 110 countries. Although we attract over 100 million hits annually to our main site and facebook pages, the focus is on local forecasting from a team in your community. Promoting your event, attraction or sporting activity in our forecast would provide innovative access to a loyal and diverse readership in the core 24- to 49-year old demographic. 


For more information about how we can help you harness our local or national readership to promote your event, send us a note: info@footsforecast.org



Strategic Media Director Diandre and CEO Mr. Foot in New Orleans


This video, recorded along the banks of the Mississippi near the French Quarter of New Orleans, is one example of our locally-relevant focus on weather, known as Fusion ForecastingTM.

Recent examples. Example fusion forecasts in the past year have included special promotions for the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival in Annapolis, MD, the surf & skate Summer Dew Tour competition, Opening Day of Major League Baseball, or the USA Science & Engineering Festival. All forecasters on our team can leverage the FusionWeather technique to promote a local event, business or attraction or celebrate the unique history and culture within a forecast zone. 

A local example. The sunshine and blue skies of the 2011 National Hard Crab Derby in Crisfield, MD provided the perfect backdrop for this shout-out to our team from the event organizers. The multi-state reach of our team allows us to be in numerous locations and promote many events simultaneously. 


We hope your event will be next in the spotlight of a "fusion forecast."
