Description:Performance scores for May 1970-April 1971 of guidance from the National Meteorological Center (NMC), State forecasts (FPs) from the Weather Service Forecast Offices (WSFOs), and local forecasts from the Weather Service Offices (WSOs) are summarized. The small improvement by succeeding echelons is evident again, and most showed better scores than previous years. NMC had the best resolution for the second and third period precipitation forecasts. All echelons had a small bias of underforecasting temperatures for all periods. It is likely the improvement resulted, in part, from a change in the precipitation criteria in the primitive equation (PE) model, and from the new NMC objective temperature forecasts. Scores for individual stations and FP/NMC areas are provided so that local comparisons can be made in relation to the national level of like scores.
