Weather in Detail, LLC delivers court-ready meteorological and climatological analysis for law firms, insurers, and event organizers — translating raw atmospheric data into clear, defensible conclusions.
Every engagement is grounded in primary data and the same standards of evidence the courtroom demands.
Clear, credible testimony and deposition support, presenting complex meteorology in terms a judge and jury can trust.
Thorough written analysis reconstructing conditions at a specific time and place, fully sourced and exhibit-ready.
Decision-grade forecasts for concerts, festivals, and outdoor productions where timing and safety are everything.
Site-specific forecasting tailored to a single address, route, or worksite — not a regional approximation.
Field observation and instrumentation at the location in question, documenting conditions firsthand.
Ongoing forecasting partnerships for transit, rail, insurance, and operations teams managing weather risk.
Weather in Detail specializes in matters involving personal injury and structural damage tied to severe weather. From slip-and-fall liability after a storm to wind-load failures and lake-effect snow events, we reconstruct exactly what the atmosphere was doing — and prove it.
Aaron Mentkowski has spent his career making the atmosphere understandable — first for a television audience of hundreds of thousands, and now for attorneys, insurers, and juries who need the weather established as fact.
As an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist, Aaron was the 35th person in the United States to achieve that distinction, and remains the first and only CBM in Buffalo. He is Chief Meteorologist at WKBW, where he forecasts the early-morning and midday newscasts and appears on five radio stations.
Beyond the broadcast booth, Aaron serves as a weather consultant and forensic meteorologist for law firms, insurance companies, concert promoters, and event organizers. His work spans testifying in court, analyzing meteorological and climatological data, preparing detailed reports, and gathering weather data on-site. He has also provided forecasts for railroad companies, transit departments, and insurers through Precision Weather.
Aaron developed and taught a Severe and Unusual Weather course at Buffalo State College and served as an adjunct professor of meteorology at Jamestown Community College. He holds a BS in Meteorology from SUNY Oswego and a BS in Communications, and earlier in his career forecast on-air in Macon, Georgia and Fort Myers, Florida.
That combination — deep technical command paired with a communicator's gift for clarity — is exactly what makes weather evidence land when it matters most.
