A few years ago the Weather
Bureau began to issue five-day
forecasts twice a week and re-
Gently it embarked on monthly
forecasts. Even the latter have
been more accurate than the
Hagerstown Almanac.
But the thunderstorm occurs
within these movements. Com
pared with the global scope of the
air masses. they are properly
termed local" Twenty-four
hours, even IL hours before their
occurrence all the forecaster can
do is to note that conditions will
be such as to suggest possible
thundershowers."
FOrecasters Embarrassed.
They can form and function
pretty fast. Since the telephone
forecast-the recording you hear
when you dial WE. 1212-the
forecasters have frequently been
embarrassed by telephone calls
from indignant subscribers. The
situation is always the same. The
forecast is possible showers; it
it raining cats and dogs and the
message is: why don't you look
out the Window"
The thunderstorm of the Sum
day before Labor Day which
spoiled the holiday afternoon for
so many on the golf links and
tennis courts is a good illustra-
tion Of how the radarscope works

Little has been written about
the Weather Bureaus method ol
Spotting the approach Of thunder.
storms by radar except in the
meteorological journals.
The equipment at Washington.
National Airport is believed to be
the most powerful radar appara.
tus used in Weather Bureau fore.
casting. It can "see" 100 miles.
The great revolving protector
which SenoS out radar beams and
gets back echoes" was ordered by
the military during the war and
its original purpose was to detect
the approach Of enemy planes.
Its primary purpose today IS to
"see' incoming transport and
military planes so the control
tower can nelp guide them to the
runway. But it also can spot a
heavy shower coming in over the
Blue Ridge from West Virginia
|or passing over Gettysburg, Pa,
on its way from the North to the
Capital.
Can Forecast Rainfall.
In the development of radal
during World War II, it was
quickly realized that it could be
used as an aid in forecasting rain
fall. At the time this was Of lit
tie satisfaction to the military
There were days when German
bombers reached the Kentish
coast undetected in heavy rainfall
All the radar saw was the rain
Radar forecasting is a simple
matter once you accept the mirac-
|ulous alchemy Of radar itself. The
great revolving protector sends
out beam of short wave radia-
ton. When these short wave i'm
pulses strike something they
bounce back-"echoes." The re-
|ceiving end Of radar changes these
returning rays into particles OF
light on a radarscope. The rada1

When heavy rain is falling any

Ishapeless splotches appear on the

tell the area which is getting the

Thundershowers Difficult.
The summer thundershowe Is
the most difficult type of pre-
|cipitation to forecast. The sum
mer sun has a way of taking the
moisture from the ground below
until it is scorched and then sud-
denly dropping it on some favored
spots in great volume. The spots
may not be so favored at that
The rain may come down in such
volume as to ruin crops, cause
flash floods and great property
damage.
The major characteristics oi
our weather are determined by
the great cold air masses, which
winter and summer, move dowr
from Alaska and even from
Siberia. The speed with which
they arrive has a lot to do with
it. If they are slow in coming, II
can get quite warm here, ever
in January. II they arrive fast
without picking up much heat ir
