Abstract: Three criteria based on the surface pressure distribution at 0130 E. S. T. are developed for large falls in temperature from the 0130 E. S. T. temperature to the minimum the following night. For those cases which meet all three criteria, charts are developed based on temperature gradients and pressure gradients which give probabilities of large falls in temperature ranging from less than 10 percent to greater than 90 percent. Forecasts are made for those cases in which the probability is 50 percent or greater, and compared with the official Weather Bureau forecasts for the same cases.
