Past Event Summaries, Case Studies and Event Maps:

Please note, we are having some issues with access to many of the resources on this page. The server space in which they were housed is not available. We are actively working to resolve the issue.

We have restored access to the static analysis maps. The full case studies and event summaries which are very large are not available at this time but we are working to make them available.

Thank you for your patience.

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.
