Event Summaries, Case Studies and Event Maps:
The NWS Raleigh has a long tradition of providing event summaries
and case studies for significant and unique meteorological
events. The event summaries, case studies, and event maps serve
many purposes including: a means to improve our meteorological
understanding, a summary of the event for use as a training
tool, a means to evaluate the station's performance (determining
the training needs of the station and for individuals), and a review of the
event for general interest needs. Our inventory of cases is
well over 120 and it continues to grow.
