This webpage is meant to be a repository of archived BUFKIT data from a variety of significant weather events that occurred in or near the NWS Louisville forecast area. For each event, a brief case overview will be presented along with some graphics (radar data sometime soon?), followed by a selection of BUFKIT data from before or during the event. This archive will offer meteorologists a way to familiarize themselves with how BUFKIT will look, feel, and operate when forecasting significant events. Events will be added as time permits.
