What is Forensic Meteorology?
Forensic meteorology is the science of using historic weather records, atmospheric data, eyewitness accounts, and reenactment simulations to determine the weather conditions at a specific time and location.
*********************************************
Other than documenting what the weather conditions were at a particular place and time, what other reasons would I use a Forensic Meteorologist?
A Forensic Meteorologist might be utilized to corroborate or invalidate an alibi, provide context for an accident, or even to determine if the conditions could have been reasonably anticipated or were a freak chance event.

What are Certified Weather Records?
Certified Weather Records are highly recommended if you are presenting data for use as evidence in court. These weather records are obtained from the NCDC in Asheville, North Carolina and contain a blue ribbon and seal, and is the highest form of certification offered and is acceptable in most (if not all) courts. To accurately interpret these weather records, it is strongly recommended to utilize a consulting meteorologist.
