Abstract
In this contribution we report the on-going progresses of the project FATE,
an operational automatic forecast system conceived to deliver forecasts of a
set of astroclimatic and atmospheric parameters having the aim to support the
science operations (i.e. the Service Mode) at the Very Large Telescope. The
project has been selected at conclusion of an international open call for
tender opened by ESO and it fits with precise technical specifications. In this
contribution we will present the ultimate goals of this service once it will be
integrated in the VLT operations, the forecasts performances at present time
and the state of the art of the project. FATE is supposed to draw the roadmap
towards the optical turbulence forecast for the ELT.
