It is proposed to predict a reduction of the meteorological situation stability, as more inertial process, from an anticipatory change of the revealed structure character of optical inhomogeneities of a ground layer concerning a steady atmosphere. It opens up possibilities to use in forecast the method of optical anomalies detection which occurrence is caused by powerful local breaking of the atmosphere thermodynamic stability non-connected with the daily meteorological situation. They can be caused by sharp atmospheric processes of spontaneous-catastrophic character as well as man-caused disasters outside of the measurement zone when a possibility to predict a mechanical trajectory of such a distortion on the basis of similar predictors becomes a vital importance.
