Temperature and precipitation verification results and interpretation at WFO Corpus Christi and other WFOS January 2004 through June 2006

"[D]iscuss and illustrate the statistical comparisons between temperature and precipitation forecasts provided by WFO Corpus Christi with those provided by the various MOS forecasts from 1 January 2004 through 30 June 2006. This 30 month period of record was chosen, since national verification statistics using the Point Forecast Matrix product began in January 2004, and because June 2006 was the latest data available during the initiation of this study. I will also show how GFS-MOS and WFO Corpus Christi verification statistics compare with other WFOs in the NWS Southern Region and across the United States. Because of the consistently impressive verification results at WFO Corpus Christi when compared with other WFOs, this paper will also discuss possible reasons why WFO Corpus Christi has been able to remain at or near the top nationally in adding value to the GFS-MOS guidance"--Intro.
