H2Otown_WX Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Only 15 people went 88F and at least 3 of us are here. Kind of surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 15 people in the competition went 88...3 posted here. Nice. I'd take 88. I'd even take 68 for the low. Just as long as consensus doesn't do as well as today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.B. LaForce Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Can we please have a moment of silence for the poor soul that went with a low temp of 84... Also: 87/67/13/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: 87/67/13/0 They're probably going for a 6z low as the winds off the Gulf Stream overwhelm Wilmington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Guidence didn't hurt me too much today, but still would've forecasted better had I remember the deadline. Anyway... 85/67/12/0 Kind of wish I didn't drop to 85 from my first thought of 86/87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wishing I had the balls to go 68F right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wishing I had the balls to go 68F right now. With dewpoint already at 67, I got to say me too I only wish I've stuck with 86/87, but today's result scared me. At least I'm pretty happy about my 67 degrees so I can get further away from consensus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I'm pretty happy about my 67 degrees so I can get further away from consensus 86/67/13/0.00 for me. Got burned on max. temps today but I always manage to end up higher than consensus.

Mallow Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I'm wondering if there might be surprise thunderstorms, or at least convective clouds, tomorrow afternoon. Still concerned about this. Plenty of CAPE and not much CIN, and frontal forcing... though the region with low CIN is limited mostly to near the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I hope it got to 88 and winds hopefully were 17mph sustained somewhere in there in between obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 A high of 87 and a 15 knot wind puts me in position for a trophy with two days for me to forecast my way out of that...very tightly bunched near the top so not the end of the world if it hits 88 somehow or the winds only get to like 14.

WxBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 After yesterday disaster, I'm just scrapping up points for yearly score, but I guess -1.20 is okay right now. Will try to build on that score and finish the city strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Wasn't the best day for me, but I still went up 81 spots, as of now to top 100. After yesterdays debacle because I had 5 min to make a forecast the night before, I say I rebounded nicely. Could have been even better for this city if I had the time. What can you do I suppose. Nice forecast by many of y'all today. Max did really well today I see. Kudos man. Good luck to everyone last few days left for Wilmington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurg Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Looks like climo says 88/69/15/0 for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Looks like climo says 88/69/15/0 for today. IIRC Temps are taken off METARs which peaked at 87 at least so far. I didn't do great today but I should jump back to the top 75 unless temps fly down into the low 60s before 6z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Tough forecast for tomorrow. EDIT: 79/59/13/0 Think I went too high on wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Very tough. Went 79/58/12/0, but not confident with H/L/W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurg Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 80/59/11/0Will the low occur tomorrow p.m.? Million dollar question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 79/57/14/0. Think the low will be 6z tomorrow night, but that's a bit uncertain with high clouds possibly building in by that point. Was about to bump up to 58 or 59, but OU's wi-fi is terrible this year so by the time it went through it was like 2 minutes past...oh well. Winds are uncertain but I think they can get that high late tonight through tomorrow morning...I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
