Information from the Model Output Statistics program is available as mapped charts or bulletins. Three of the most used charts are the 24-to-60-hour maximum and minimum tempera-ture forecasts (fig. 4-3-14), the 12-to-30-hour surface wind and cloud amount forecast (fig, 4-3-15), and the 12-to-48-hour probability of precipitation and precipitation-type forecast (fig. 4-3-16). All of the MOS products are produced twice daily from the 0000Z and 1200Z data bases. We will discuss the breakdown of the bulletins in the following section.

MOS MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEM-PERATURE FORECAST. This chart shows four panels of maximum or minimum tempera-ture forecasts, at 24, 36, 48, and 60 hours. Forecast temperatures are plotted in degrees Fahrenheit for most major cities across the United States. Isotherms are drawn every 10F, as well.
