September 2014 temperature forecast contest


Recommended Posts

Because of the timing of the Labor Day weekend, please note that the field has a one-day extension for entering the contest without penalty this month, you can relax all weekend and make your forecast Monday evening Sept 1st if you wish. The penalties will then be 1% per hour starting on Tuesday at 06z, but to keep pace with the normal absolute deadline, penalties will increase to 2% an hour after 00z on the 5th.

 

As usual, predict the monthly temperature anomalies relative to 1981-2010 normal values for:

 

DCA __ NYC __ BOS ____ ORD __ ATL __ IAH ____ DEN __ PHX __ SEA

 

 

Good luck, the annual scoring race is becoming a frenzy as we round the turn for home. Or maybe it's just the inside of my head that's a frenzy.

just a reminder, penalty-free deadline was extended by 24h due to the Labor Day weekend, so you can also edit freely until 06z Sep 2nd, around then I will be assembling the table of entries. Good luck everybody.

UPDATE on the seasonal max contest ... NYC hit 92 and BOS 93 on Tuesday Sept 2nd, both one degree higher than previous seasonal maxes. Table has been adjusted in the July thread at this location:

 

http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/43968-july-2014-temperature-forecast-contest/

 

Damage in Tolland followed closely by RodneyS lead the contest in both the "original six" and for all nine stations.

 

Metalicwx366 has the low error score (2 at this point) for the western three.

 

Yer host is dead last and needs the mother of all mid-September heat waves to move up.

 

Will bring the table over here later in the month.
