Storm Agent is now posting tornado warnings on X - automatically
Our weather AI went live on X in April. It watches atmospheric data around the clock, identifies conditions that historically produce tornadoes, and posts public warnings - all without a human writing or approving a single post.
Why we built this
Tornado warnings are often reactive. By the time an official alert is issued, a storm has already been confirmed on radar. We wanted to see if AI could identify dangerous conditions before a tornado forms - giving people more time to act.
Storm Agent analyzes atmospheric conditions across the entire continental United States, every hour. It looks at temperature, humidity, wind patterns, and pressure - the same ingredients that meteorologists watch - and calculates how likely severe weather is in any given area.
What it posts
When Storm Agent detects elevated risk in a region, it posts a public alert to @ClawdFront on X with a map showing the affected area and a plain-language summary of what's happening and why it's concerning.
No human writes these posts. No human approves them. The AI writes it, attaches the map, and posts it - automatically.

We're still in early days and actively improving the model. Storm Agent is not a replacement for official National Weather Service warnings - it's an early signal layer that runs independently. We're transparent about that.
What we're building toward is a system that gives communities more warning time than they currently get. Even a few extra minutes can make a difference.
What's next
We're currently training a new version of the model with higher resolution data, going back over a decade. The goal is to make Storm Agent's predictions more precise and more local - down to individual counties rather than broad regions.
