Difficult Weather: A Review of Thunderstorm, Fog and Stratus, and WinterPrecipitation Forecasting

This report is a compilation of objective methods and 'rules of thumb' that havebeen developed for forecasting thunderstorms, fog, and winter precipitation. These weather events have been traditionally considered to be difficult to forecast. Forecast methods using only locally or regionally available data are highlighted. An extensive bibliography of the formal and informal literature on these subjects through mid-1997 is provided.
