BOB'S CENTRAL CAROLINA WEATHER PAGE
Welcome to Bob's Central Carolina Weather page. This page
contains information and links pertaining to Meteorology and
amateur radio. My call sign is WX4MMM
and I monitor most Raleigh area 2 meter repeaters. My weather
observing station location is in Northwestern Wake County near
Highway 98 and Highway 50. I have been continuously
recording climatic data since September 1985, including
daily maximun/minimun temperatures, precipitation, barometric
pressure, dew point, wind direction and wind speed (Weatherflow
Tempest). Weather data from this station is uploaded to several web
sites including the Citzens Weather Obervation Program ( station
WX4MMM, AP098) and Weather
Underground .(stations KNCRALEI11 and KNCHOLLY148).
I attended NC State and have a BS and MS in Meteorology and a member
of the American Meteorological Society ( AMS ), Atlantic Coast Observer Network ( ACON ), Raleigh Amateur Radio Society ( RARS ), American Radio Relay League ( ARRL ), Smith Chart
Amateur Radio Society ( K4OO ), and Weather Matrix. I am also an assistant
emergency coordinator for Central Carolina Skywarn
and a CoCoRaHS observer for Wake Co (NC-WK-1) and
Pender Co (NC-PD-2)..
A significant number of outdoor events ( festivals, sporting
events,weddings, etc) now obtain weather insurance polices.
The insurance companies usually require a
independent weather observer to verify the local weather
conditions which I am available to provide this service
during weekends.
