Baron Weather has strengthened its global aviation weather intelligence operations and named industry veteran Dave Hubner to spearhead the expansion of its services and partnerships. The Huntsville, Alabama-based company provides real-time weather data and forecasting services backed by 24/7 meteorological support for aviation operators worldwide. 
“Since its beginnings, Baron has been at the forefront of some of the most significant advancements in aviation weather,” Hubner said. “I’m excited to continue that legacy by driving partner success through integrated safer, smarter services.”
Baron’s aviation weather intelligence draws from high-resolution modeling and globally derived current condition datasets, delivering detailed analysis of cloud structure, storm evolution, lightning activity, turbulence, and winds aloft. The company’s services support operational decision-making across all flight phases, from preflight planning through landing.
The company has provided aviation weather products since launching the XMWX service (now SiriusXM) in 2003. Its Storm Intel system tracks severe thunderstorms and provides threat assessments up to 60 minutes in advance, including hail size predictions and tornado risk markers.
“Dave will be integral to leading our innovation and partner engagement,” said Bob Dreisewerd, Baron Weather CEO and president. “We are dedicated to ensuring our partners—and their customers—can make the most informed weather-based decisions possible, anywhere in the world.”
