The Weather and What it Means at SiteMarker

Rain happens. Sometimes it’s just a nuisance. Other times, it halts entire projects. In stormwater compliance, even a tenth of an inch can trigger inspections, reporting, or regulatory headaches.

‍

That’s why we’re introducing the Weather Dashboard, powered by Precip.ai. This new feature gives your team field-first access to accurate, real-time rainfall data—right inside SiteMarker. Even better: it’s fully integrated into your SWPPP reports, eliminating guesswork and manual entry.

‍

Now, when the skies open, you’re already one step ahead.

‍

Who Benefits from This?

‍

The Weather Dashboard is built for everyone who touches a project:

‍

• SWPPP Inspectors
  Check rainfall totals before heading out—skip unnecessary site visits or jump on urgent ones.
• Civil Engineers & Environmental Managers
  Automatically add rainfall logs to reports and keep compliance on track.
• Contractors & Developers
  Confirm weather-related delays and protect your projects when questions arise.

‍

Why It Matters

‍

No more juggling NOAA websites, weather apps, or spreadsheets. With SiteMarker, you get:

‍

• Rainfall data that’s tied to your actual job sites.
• Reports that already include what regulators need—without extra steps.
• Logs that are accurate, defensible, and ready when you need them.

‍

How You’ll Use It

‍

Here’s how simple it is:

‍

1. Open your project in SiteMarker (web or mobile).
2. Tap Weather to see current rain totals and forecasts.
3. Watch rainfall data flow automatically into your SWPPP reports.
4. Turn on Autogenerated Rainfall Log to keep a live, editable CSV updated in your project files.

‍

It’s not just about numbers—it’s about knowing when to act.

Why This Changes the Game

‍

In stormwater compliance, timing is everything. Inspections often need to happen within 24 hours of a qualifying rain event, and your documentation has to hold up under scrutiny.

‍

But most teams still depend on patchy tools, regional feeds, or manual gauges. That leaves too much room for error.

‍

With Precip.ai’s hyper-local data and SiteMarker’s GPS-native workflows, you finally have a single source of truth—built right into the tools you already use.

‍

No extra apps. No switching tabs. No missed events.

‍

Built Because You Asked

‍

This idea came straight from the field. Inspectors and engineers asked us:
‍

• “Can we just see rainfall on the map during inspections?”
• “Can SiteMarker tell me if I need to do a site visit instead of me checking five other places?”

‍

So we made it happen.

‍

It’s another example of SiteMarker’s commitment to building field-first tools that save time, improve compliance, and keep projects moving.

‍

Better Forecasts, Better Decisions

‍

We believe better visibility leads to better choices. The Weather Dashboard is one more way SiteMarker helps you move quickly—from uncertainty to action.

‍

Capture. Contextualize. Access. Act.
