Weather polygons

Weather alert/impact polygons (storm tracks, flood zones, air-quality advisories) are issued, updated, and retracted on an hourly-to-sub-hourly cadence; using a cached or stale version misrepresents current conditions for weather-triggered targeting or reporting.

2 conversions
01

Detection

Polygon issued/valid timestamp older than the source's typical update cadence for that alert type.

02

Mitigation

01
Re-fetch weather polygons on the vendor's native update cadence, never cache beyond it
02
Timestamp every cell-weather join with the polygon's issued time, not the query time
