Descriptionedit
The NWS In Raleigh began in January 1887. In 1896, NWS Raleigh moved to the Fisher Building, and remained there until 1908, when the office moved to the fourth floor of the Masonic Temple in Raleigh. It would remain here until December 1940. In December 1940, the office moved to the Administration Building at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (called Raleigh Municipal Airport at the time), and would move a few times on the airport grounds over the years. In November 1979, NWS Raleigh moved to the Cargo Building at RDU, and would remain there until 1994. On January 19, 1994, NWS Raleigh moved to the Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University, though a skeleton staff remained at RDU to take observations and man the WSR-74 radar until June 30, 1996.
