Description:Some forecasters would like to eliminate the chore of manually logging hourly observations. The AFOS system provides other ways to monitor the weather. Console procedures, the alarm/alert features, and the terminal forecast monitoring program (MONITR) are only three of the available alternatives. These techniques, however, do not provide a record which can be reviewed easily at a later date. This paper describes a program which uses the AFOS database to produce a complete log sheet. All forecasts and observations which occur during a given time window are printed in chronologic order. Each site can specify three time windows and the time of day during which each window is used. The site also specifies a list of one to sixteen nodes. Forecasts and observations are printed for every FTA product in the database associated with the nodes on the list.
