A "Perfect" CAWS?

With little convection impacting the NAS yesterday afternoon the forecasters had time to review an archived case of a particularly impactful day. The forecaster looked at the CAWS graphics created on June 18, 2015 for areas being impacted by the remnants of tropical cyclone Bill. The forecaster was tasked with creating a "perfect" CAWS with the knowledge of how the weather evolved during the day. They looked at CCFP, INSITE, radar data, and the CAWS graphics from that day. Again, different colors, polygon fills, and arrows were used to see if more information could be conveyed in the graphic without becoming too cluttered.
