4 Panel Prognostic Chart

[Richard]

This current chart seems to be a good example of how areas of meterological phenomena (moderate turb [yellow dotted line] in this example) can be aligned with artificial man-made boundaries. It would be good to get an NWS insider perspective on this. Yes, paging Scott please.

Richard, Where did you pull up those prog charts? ADDS?

 

[Jeanie]

Right. Thanks, Scott!

I looked at it again and you can get there from ADDS - just under standard briefing on the left side and then about the middle of that new page...

Scott, thanks for the response.

I posted as a 'heads up' for pilots. Operationally speaking, that disparity you mention can present a hazard to pilots.

I first became aware of this during my initinial training after an encounter with weather worse than forecast. Upon post-fliight review I found the weather was as forecast but I had looked at charts only from my forecast area.
