Description:

"With increasing use of centralized computer products, interest in synoptic analysis has noticeably waned at many field stations in the Western Region. This is especially true with regard to frontal analysis. Although computerized maps do not show fronts as such, there is stiII a definite need for carrying fronts on surface charts. This is especially true for short-range, detailed forecasts of I -18 hours, which are an integral part of our Western Region smalI-scale program. Sharp discontinuities in weather elements associated with significant cold fronts must be carefully analyzed and accurately predicted in order to make useful short-range forecasts"--Introduction.
