Enhancing NWS Communication: Mixed Case Risk Analysis Implementation Overview

This document outlines the evolution of mixed case risk analysis in National Weather Service (NWS) products since August 2010. Beginning with Public Information Statements and Technical Notices, it highlights the transition to mixed case formats to improve readability and accessibility. The project aimed to increase the number of Weather Forecast Offices issuing mixed case products and included participation by several offices, including the Storm Prediction Center and the National Hurricane Center. Ongoing efforts and future plans for broader implementation across all NWS products are also discussed.
