MOS Forecasting
Posted: 11 Oct 2016 05:34 AM
The featured chart displays the combination of MOS forecasts of morning low temperature
and afternoon high temperature for Des Moines this month. Model Output Statistics (MOS)
forecasts take raw weather forecast model output and using past forecasts with actual
observations, attempt to provide a more accurate forecast. These forecasts are made four
times per day, so the bars represent the range of values forecasted as the forecast is
updated with time. It is interesting to note the cold weather forecasted for tomorrow, with
the highs only in the mid 50s!
