While it may not seem like satellite-delivered weather has much to do with your local station’s evening weathercast, the two actually share a lot in common. WxWorx (pronounced “Weather Works”) belongs to the Baron Services group of companies.

You might not have heard of Baron. But you’ve no doubt seen our work.

Founded by a meteorologist, Baron developed the original technology that first allowed TV meteorologists to zoom into specific neighborhoods and pinpoint the storms’ arrival times—a ground-breaking achievement that has resulted in safer, more informed communities. The 3D storm tracking, powerful Doppler radar and advanced forecast modeling that followed further established our reputation for innovation and accuracy.

When Baron teamed with XM Satellite Radio to provide satellite-delivered weather data to pilots, boaters, emergency management officials and storm chasers, the WxWorx division was formed to apply our weather know-how to those mobile environments.

The results speak for themselves. Powered by Baron, WxWorx technology can be found today in thousands of planes, boats and vehicles equipped with XM WX Satellite Weather. And the TV weather forecast that started it all? It’s calling for even bigger things in the future.
