The Monett crew issues no routine weather predictions. They provide date used by forecasters la this region and beyond. "We wholesale the weather we tot -other people retail It" ays Nine, pointing to a bank of teletype machines linking the station with other weather stations and news media. experienced forecaster Nine has a toel for the problems faced by those down the line who srs expected to accurately predict' tomorrow" weather.

But he says the popular notion that Ozarks weather ia especially difficult to forecast Is largely myth. "Every place I've ever been and dealt with weather la supposed to have been the hardest place in the. world to predict." Nino chuckles. i couldn't imagine anybody els having as much trouble as wo did forecasting in central Illinois the middle of winter. When- I.

moved to Tacoma everybody said It would be easy all you've got to say la that it's going to be cloudy and rainy, right? Well, the westher out there comes in from the West Just like ever ywheri else, only there's nobody living In the ocean to tell you whatx on the way. Then there was Albuquerque Nine concedes that surface air currents moving Into the Ozarks from the South and West do surge upward as they encounter the bill country, tome-times stirring problems In mixing with cooler air at higher elevations. "If someone were to put mt Bp against a wall and force me to pick the hardest place I've ever seen to accurately predict weather. I'd have to say Amarillo, Texss. But there's no denying that southwest Missouri can be an exciting sometimes too exciting place for weather.

Blizzards, tornados, hailstorms we have em all here." These phenomena show up on radar with distinctive "signature echoes Radarmen talk of "vee-nnu-hes" and "spikes" and "scalloped edges." The most dreaded echo is a "hook." signifying a funnel cloud. Nine has seen such warning signs many times But one of the most memorable occasions was the night nf April 24. 1975, when a particularly vicious storm system moved through the area. Hardest hit was Neosho, where a tornado killed three persons and inflicted property damage ranging into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. "We did record an excellent and were able to get out warnings.

It came very close to the station and we got a little uptight ourselves. I wss worried about what might be happening in Neosho as a result of what we were seeing on the screen. I hated that it happened, but 1 like to think that some people survived because we were hers." NOAA used the Neosho incident as the basis for a film illustrating how th weather warning system ir do -signed to work. But NOAA isn't relying solely on radar these days. Satellites are becoming valuable aids.

And balloons continue to carry radio transmitters aloft to sample the upper atmosphere. Even with all this impressive technology at work. Nine worries that people depend too heavily on the weather-man: "I know when I wss a forecaster and I'd be driving born at night, lt make me feel sort of weird when tbt announcer would come on with the forecast Because I knew it wss my forecast and millions of people were counting on It. And If I said it wasn't going to freeze that night but it did and it got Momma's petunias. I felt bad "Still.

It upsets me sometimes when 1 read in the newspaper that a storm 'struck without as if the weatherman was personally responsible for knocking on every door and saying. There'll be a tornado through here in 13 minutes Seldom does threatening weather come along that there hasn't been some mention of the possibility. "I like to tell people that they have the best weather instruments right on either side of their noses their eyes. Larry Lee Hurd Services for Larry Lee Kurd, 52. Ava.
