A CoreLogic weather verification alternative
Cotality, the former CoreLogic, sells weather verification reports through an online store. Here is an alternative built on satellite evidence, for one address and date, that anyone can verify.
Updated
Our pick for a single property is the Skybridge satellite report: GOES satellite imagery and lightning with NOAA MRMS hail size and SPC storm reports, for your exact address, about one business day, from USD 249, with a public verification code. If your carrier or firm already buys through Cotality's account, staying there keeps your paperwork in one place.
The two options
We're Skybridge, which is why we're listed first.

Why look beyond the default vendor
Claims teams often order the report their system defaults to. Policyholders and public adjusters, though, usually need something different: a document about one property that answers "was there hail here, on this date?" and that the carrier can check without trusting the sender.
A Skybridge report lists its sources, draws your area on the map, and carries a code that opens the original issued version on our site. Nothing about it depends on an account with us.
What satellite evidence adds
Radar coverage near the ground thins with distance from the radar and behind terrain, especially in the West. GOES-19 and GOES-18 watch every acre the same way, all the time, and their lightning mapper records the storm’s electrical activity. Next to NOAA MRMS hail size and SPC storm reports, that gives three independent views of the same storm. See a sample report and why it matters for rural properties.
Ordering
Mark the property on the map, pick the date or a 2–3 day window, choose the hazards (hail, lightning, severe storms) and pay by card. Firms ordering every week can ask for volume pricing.
What to check in any weather verification report
Whichever vendor you use, these are the questions a carrier will ask of the document.
- Is the location the insured property itself, drawn on a map, rather than a ZIP code or county?
- Does the date and time window sit inside the policy period?
- Are the sources named, and are they independent of each other?
- Can the reader confirm the document was issued as shown?
Where Skybridge fits a public adjuster’s workflow
Public adjusters order weather evidence on every hail file, often before the first inspection. A report per property, priced up front, delivered in about a business day and verifiable by the carrier, slots into that routine. For regular volume, ask about pricing.
When Cotality is the better choice
- Your carrier requires reports from its existing Cotality account.
- You order many report types beyond weather from Cotality and want one invoice.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there an alternative to CoreLogic weather verification reports?
- Yes. Skybridge sells satellite-based hail and lightning reports for one address and date, with NOAA radar and storm-report sources and a verification code, from USD 249.
- Is CoreLogic the same as Cotality?
- Cotality is the name CoreLogic now uses; its weather verification store is still reached at wvs.corelogic.com.
- How does an adjuster check a Skybridge report?
- Every report carries a unique code. Anyone with it opens the original issued version at skybridge-intel.com/en/verify, so an edited copy is easy to spot.
- Can I order lightning and hail together?
- Yes. Add a second hazard to the same report; the price is shown before you pay.
