12. Benefits for the RA 1 WMO community utilizing WIS (GISC Pretoria) WIS allows for a push-pull mechanism which supersedes the current RTH push only system. NC will be able to access data from sources that would have been hidden in the past. NC will be able to access Web Portals such as (SWFDP) Severe Weather Forecasting Demonstration Program.
