Flowchart Weather Forecast

1) Weather forecasting tools like AWIPS, meteograms, soundings, and satellite images are used to make short-term, medium-term, and long-term forecasts. 2) Common weather forecasting methods include persistence, where the forecast is based on current conditions, and steady state/trend analysis, where forecasts are based on the direction and speed of weather systems. 3) The process of making a weather forecast involves observing current conditions, collecting and transmitting weather data, plotting the data, analyzing maps and imagery, and formulating the final forecast.
