Description:

"Since September, 2002, verification scores for 12-hour maximum/minimum (MAX/MIN) temperature forecasts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office (WFO) at Albany, NY (ALY) have shown a dramatic improvement when compared to Model Output Statistics (MOS) guidance forecasts (Glahn and Lowry 1972). This improvement occurred over a very short period of time, and was the result of well defined changes to forecast methodologies and operational procedures. This paper will discuss the steps taken to achieve the improvement in the verification scores, and how they occurred within the framework of the transition to an entirely new forecast process"--Introduction.
