Description:"Cloud cover forecasts from the extended forecasts prepared at from the National Weather Service Forecast Offices for Indianapolis and Washington D.C. were collected from February 1990 through January 1992, and from January 1991 through July 1992 respectively. The forecasts were verified by using observations from the principle cities and chi-square analysis. Chi-square analysis was used to test, for each city and for each period (calendar day) of the extended, the null hypothesis that the forecasts were independent of the observations and therefore showed no skill. results for WSFO IND were that the null hypothesis was rejected for all three periods of the extended forecast. Results for WSFO WBC were that the null hypothesis was rejected for the first two periods"--Summary.
