Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

This page explains who writes the news and articles on WeatherScope, where the information comes from, how posts are checked, and how we correct mistakes. It applies to Weather News, the blog and the written parts of our forecast pages.

Who writes and reviews

Every post is written and published by one of our editors, the people at Aviator Assistant LLC who run WeatherScope, and shows their name. A post is not published until it has been checked against the sources below.

  • Raven Eclipse, Editor: the daily weather briefings, world weather news and tropical storms and hurricanes.
  • Ashen Ember, Managing Editor: severe storms, flooding, heat and air quality, our weather safety and radar guides, and WeatherScope product news.

Our editors write under pen names; each is a real member of our team, introduced on the About page.

Sources we use

Weather facts in our posts (storm positions, strengths, warnings, watches, times and amounts) come from official forecasting agencies:

  • The National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center for tropical storms and hurricanes.
  • The National Weather Service and its local offices for warnings, watches and advisories in the United States.
  • The Storm Prediction Center for severe-storm outlooks and watches, and the Weather Prediction Center for heavy rain and winter weather.
  • National weather services elsewhere (for example the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the Japan Meteorological Agency, the UK Met Office and Environment and Climate Change Canada) for weather outside the United States.

When a post relies on a specific advisory or outlook, we link to it so you can read the original. Forecast numbers on our city pages come from our own forecasting system, which blends observations and weather models; see About WeatherScope for the details.

What we check

  • Storm names, positions, wind speeds and categories match the latest official advisory at the time of publishing.
  • Warnings and watches are named exactly as the issuing agency names them, for the areas it names.
  • Times are given with their time zone, and amounts with their units.
  • Headlines say what the post is about, without exaggeration.

Weather changes quickly. A daily briefing describes the situation when it was published; for the latest information, follow the linked official sources or our live radar.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it. Tell us at support@aviatorassistant.com or through the Contact page and include the address of the post. Corrections that change the meaning of a post are noted at the end of the post.

Advertising and independence

WeatherScope shows ads and sells WeatherScope Premium. Advertisers do not choose, pay for or review what we write. Posts about our own app and its features are written by the same team and say so plainly.
