How To Order All Four Weather Reports
Every claim requires documentation of coverage, damage, and causation. While coverage and damage are usually easy to show, causation—proving a specific storm caused the damage—is often missed or disputed.
That’s where HailTrace Weather Reports help.
Weather History Report
Use this report to find a date of loss backed by hail, wind, or tornado history at a property. Great for canvassing, qualifying a lead, or verifying that a storm impacted the home.
Meteorologist Reviewed Report
When the date of loss is in question, request this report to confirm the storm details. A Meteorologist will analyze the selected date (or date range) and verify whether a qualifying storm occurred.
Meteorologist Certified Report
If a claim is heading toward litigation, use this report to avoid going to court. It includes a detailed, signed analysis from a Forensic Meteorologist that strengthens your case and often resolves disputes before legal action is needed.
Meteorologist Expert Report
When a claim enters court, this report helps you win the argument. It provides legal-grade evidence and allows a qualified meteorologist to serve as an expert witness in depositions or trials.

Meteorologist Certified & Expert Reports
Certified and Expert Reports are used in complex or high-value claims—often when disputes arise or a claim heads to court.
If you think one of these reports may be needed, you can request a consultation with our Forensic Meteorologist to review your situation. During the consultation, we’ll help determine whether a Meteorologist Certified Report (designed to avoid court) or a Meteorologist Expert Report (designed for use in court) is the best fit.
To request a consultation:
Go to the Reports page on our website.
Select Inquire about a Certified Report or Inquire about an Expert Report.
Fill out the form with details about the property, the claim, and what you're looking for.
Once submitted, our team will contact you to review your request and plan next steps.
