CFS (Climate Forecast System)

The Climate Forecast System (CFS) is a computer-based tool developed by NOAA that uses current weather data and advanced models to predict future climate and weather patterns. It analyzes factors like temperature, humidity, ocean conditions, and atmospheric patterns to generate forecasts that can range from weeks to months ahead. The goal of the CFS is to help officials, farmers, and others prepare for upcoming weather events, such as storms, droughts, or heavy rains, by providing more reliable and longer-term predictions based on complex scientific understanding of climate systems.
