Severe Weather Forecasting Activity
The Severe Weather Forecasting Exercise is a web-based exercise that is designed to stimulate interest in severe weather. This exercise is being developed for use by all levels of meteorologists and K-12 students as well. Because of the wide range of skills among users, there are three versions of the forecasting exercise.
The exercise is worked by trying one of the cases below. The case uses archived data and prepared questions to guide the user thoughout the cases duration. Currently, we have two types of cases: the "Summer-like Events" contain questions that concern summer like severe weather (tornado, hail, heavy rain), and the "Winter-like Events" stress winter severe weather phenonema.

Basic Version:

Here is a listing of available cases that can be worked though. Please feel free to try any of them out. They do not hurt.
