Modernized Forecast Operations Concept
Building a Weather-Ready Nation Through Science-Based Service
The Modernized Forecast Operations Concept is a vision for a future of NWS operations where our foundation al datasets and the way our meteorologists think is fundamentally probabilistic. We know from SBES literature that communicating uncertainty information increases understanding, increases trust, and improves decision-making in the users of our information. Through building deep relationships with our partners we can tailor this uncertainty information to the needs to ensure they can make the best decisions possible. The MFOC makes a case for changing how we operate to maximize our partners ability to make good decisions, which are the pathway to saving lives and property and enhancing the economy of the United States.
