Update on Four Seasons contest

This contest tracks your seasonal performances. Ten points are awarded to top total score in each season,

then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 points for 2nd-7th, and 1 point for anyone else who enters all three contests. This table

shows the points awarded in the winter and spring segments, followed by total points for June, July and

August, and the points generated. The table order is total points for the contest.

Here's the forecast table again, this time it's what you need to complete your forecast. In some cases, it is no longer mathematically possible so the number of hurricanes will be greater than the number of named storms.

Final scoring for August 2020

Scoring is based on the latest update above showing confirmed end of month anomalies.

^ PHX has been converted to max-60 scoring as it appears that the highest raw score would be around 54. The progression will be in increments of five points 5-60. No raw scores were higher than the progression scores.

======================================================

Extreme forecast report

At this point, five forecasts qualify, one for coldest and four for warmest. 

DCA ended up as a loss for RodneyS with coldest forecast +0.9 and wins for DonS, Scotty L(+1.5).

ORD, DEN, PHX and SEA go to Roger Smith with warmest forecasts, in three cases below the actual values.

The other four locations have fallen close to our consensus forecasts.

------------------------------------------------------------

The updated annual scoring summary will follow ...

Don't know about that yet, most majors occur in Sept-Oct (or late Aug). Outside chance one of these twin storms makes cat-3. Then all to play for in Sept-Oct. 

13/2/0 in this Year of the Weak Tropical Storm. Could go to 13/4/0 if both Laura and Marco become marginal canes. 

Anyone care to hazard an updated guess? I would say 28/15/3 at this rate. The later storms are much more likely to start beefing up. Main question is, will this production rate continue? If so, we are climatologically one-third of the way into the season for total count, adjust that for more likely hurricane outcomes, and you get to something like 40/20/?? as any majors will evidently have to come from the Greek alphabet at this rate. 

First look at anomalies and projections ...

_____________________

9th _ Rather subdued warmth except for the ongoing blistering heat in the west. Chicago in fact running a bit below average. The following week looks near average in many areas and continued very warm in the west. Have taken the projections for 16th-25th from assumptions of persistence as pattern looks fairly similar. No seasonal max changes so far in August, will post any that do show up (see July thread for the report on seasonal max to date). 

16th _ Little change although far west warming rapidly, 16th hit new seasonal max for SEA at 98 F. 

23rd _ Staying hot in the west, and near normal in the east, new seasonal maxes of 117 PHX, 100 DEN, 102 IAH. 

*27th _ Revised projection for ORD from +1.5 to +3.0 as currently +3.7, only slight cooling now indicated.

30th _ slight changes as we approach final validation.

1st _ Final anomalies were posted overnight and scoring is updated. 

9/2/0 ... on the way to 45/10/0.

Thanks, Scotty, I have been a bit generous with late forecasts all year so your bite won't be very big when I get to the table of forecasts, something I hope to do this evening. 

Tried to alert Scotty Lightning but his account does not accept PMs, and he only seems to come into the forum to enter this contest (very few posts otherwise). Calling Dr Lightning to the operating theater. 

July is fully scored and updated. Quite a good contest going on above me.

If the west coast ridge flattens out in August, look out ... extreme heat has developed over the Pacific northwest region, highs today were near 110 degrees in eastern WA and OR and some parts of southern ID. These are near-record values. It is about 97 F at my house and I live above 4,000' halfway up a mountain range, valley readings in southern BC are near 100 F. This is about the fifth day of this heat wave with very little air movement, luckily the low humidity means it cools off significantly after sunset. We get to lows of 65-68 F which is somewhat refreshing. Lower elevations south of the border stay in the mid 70s in their heat waves. Basically this is desert southwest heat that decided this might be a good place to set up for a while. 

Just a heads up to the half dozen NYC forum members who participate in the temperature forecast contest (main forum), deadline fast approaching. 

8/1/0 and it's July 27th ...

... extrapolation from normal pace is 40/5/0. 

Under our normal scoring rules everyone would score zero.

LOL

Just in case here's an early placeholder forecast: 2.5 _ 2.5 _ 2.5 _ 3.5 _ 3.0 _ 2.5 __ 3.5 _ 3.0 _ 2.0

Based on climate reports, only IAD changed value today, but BWI has reached 100 since the report so can't guarantee that there won't be a change there later. (edit, BWI held at 100, no further changes required)

_______________________________________________________

The means of the 20 forecasts are

(contest means) _____ 101.1_ 100.9_ 99.9 _ 102.1

====================================================================

If BWI has a final report of 101, then nwbaltimorewx would move ahead with 2 points.

If IAD reports 99 as max, and nothing else changes, we have a three-way tie at three points, the two current leaders add one point, Rhino16 drops one to move into the leadership tie. 

If IAD reports 100 as max, and no other changes, then we have a four-way tie with those three joined by WinstonSalem Arlington at 4 points.

However there's some chance of other changes taking place, won't know for a while. RIC hasn't been very close to yesterday's 101. 

I will update the provisional scoring when I can confirm today's maxima, daily climate reports are a bit late hitting the screen. I wasn't aware that BWI had hit 100 today, will change that and the 98 for IAD. 

(later edit -- confirmed the 100 at BWI and 98 at IAD from climate reports, but 101 at RIC, moves Wxwatcher007 back into a tie with nwbaltimorewx who had edged ahead when RIC was set at 100). 

If tomorrow is a bit hotter as you're thinking is possible, then all of this is academic anyway. A number of us are lurking.

These updates are now confirmed from climate reports, to be adjusted later if necessary, check back for edits. ...
