Abstract

A Notable Forecasting Achievement is coming of age and achieves solution of problems every I n three weeks of late January and early February the bit as difficult as those solved by all the other scientific Centra l and Northeastern states felt the full strength of an d engineering professions. two record-breaking storms. Th e devastation left in their wake was widespread and will take a long time to repair. I' m very pleased to congratulate the National Me- Th e damage inflicted by these storms was matched only teorological Center of the National Weather Service for by the suddenness of their explosive development. Yet the outstanding work they did with their new models.1 the forecasts issued to the public were outstanding in Th e numerical predictions they furnished were without practically every respect. any doubt the basis for both of these successes. Th e fore- casters who received and interpreted this guidance and Th e ability of the science to accomplish this feat is issued their forecasts to the public and private clients new. Fifteen years ago, such successful forecasts of these displayed an admirable degree of professionalism. The extremely rapid developments would have been almost many radio and television broadcasters went all out in inconceivable . This year we spoke with practically a getting the message across to the public. Both the weather unanimou s voice to all who listened. Weather forecasting forecasters and the broadcasters worked many long hours with little or no relief to get the message out.
