Progress in Weather Forecasting

Introduction

Technology and accurate weather forecasting have always gone hand in hand. As technology has improved, so has meteorologists' understanding of the weather and their ability to predict its effects. Doppler radar, for example, has greatly improved the reliability of the National Weather Service's warnings of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in recent years. Unfortunately, the steady technological advances have improved the accuracy of longer-range forecasts only marginally.
