Abstract: Extended forecasting, as it now is practiced, covers the third, four and fifth days after forecast day and also the time-averaged weather for the third through the seventh days. On the near side of it lies short-range forecasting on the far side, long-range forecasting and the prediction of climatic shifts. The Extended Forecast Division is part of the National Meteorological Center at Suitland, Md., the National Weather Services major weather central. Our extended forecasts comprise a small segment of the huge volume of forecast and observed weather charts transmitted by facsimile devices every day from Suitland to the Weather Services forecast offices around the United States. The men at those offices use this centralized guidance material to help them prepare the familiar local forecasts that reach the public by radio, TV, newspapers, and telephone tapes.
