Description:

"The purpose of this paper is to evaluate how the traditional forecast methods and the high resolution profile data forecast the precipitation performed during the 14 November 1997 winter storm. Forecasts of precipitation type and amounts will be presented only to show how the guidance was used. The goal is to assess the forecast methods, and not to critique the decision process in place at the time"--Introduction.
