Forensic Meteorological Services
When weather is in dispute, the facts matter — not assumptions. Cox Weather Services provides forensic meteorological analysis to attorneys, insurance companies, engineers, and private investigators, reconstructing exact weather conditions for use in legal proceedings and claims investigations.
What Is Forensic Meteorology?
Forensic meteorology is the scientific reconstruction of weather conditions at a specific time and place, used as evidence in litigation, insurance claims, and investigations. Unlike a general forecast, forensic analysis works backward — establishing what actually happened, supported by certified data and expert interpretation that can withstand legal scrutiny
With over 2,000 weather-related cases and insurance claims analyzed, and more than 135 sworn testimonies delivered, Bob Cox brings three decades of forensic consulting experience and 36+ years as an operational and broadcast meteorologist to every analysis.
