March 2018 temperature forecast contest and Regional Rumble

Welcome back to the temperature forecast contest and Regional Rumble ... February was rather a challenge and scores are fairly low in general, so the contest remains quite competitive. You can check the February thread to see how you and your region are doing.

So for March the forecast challenge is the same, predict the temperature anomalies for nine locations, in F deg, relative to 1981-2010 normal (average) values. 

These locations are: 

DCA _ NYC _ BOS ____ ORD _ ATL _ IAH _____ DEN _ PHX _ SEA

... I will publicize the March contest in the regional announcements on Tuesday 27th to keep it top of mind ... the deadline is for penalty-free scoring, but the penalties this year are fairly relaxed (see January thread if you want to get the exact details, something like 1% every 4h late for the first 36 hours then 1% per hour added to that after 18z 2nd). With the low scoring in February, the late penalties ended up costing a few people very few points in fact. 

Good luck, hope to see everyone rumbling like crazy all year long, this may turn out to be a lot of fun (is that still legal?).

Table of forecasts for March 2018

Late penalties generally reduced to allow the RR to continue ... I have reduced the ones already issued at the same pace as for our SE entry, who had some medical issues at forecast time. The penalties are still sizeable enough to overcome any advantages gained by seeing later data.

Updates to the snowfall contest will continue over in the February thread, and will remain there until the contest is declared final, 

then an announcement will appear in the May thread when DEN, and possibly other locations, seem to be beyond further snowfalls.

Here's the first three reports on anomalies (in green, projections in regular type), look for updates after each seven day period to 21st then 24th, and every second day to 30th and 31st. The way this table is now arranged, you can check the actual anomalies against the NWS 7-day projections (to which I apply any perceived midnight low sort of adjustments) in the line above the reported anomalies. From now to 28th, there will be two additional reports on 24th and 26th so the 28th will be comparable to the entry on 22nd (p28d NWS) three lines above. Then I will add daily updates to end of the month. The various late month and end of month 16 day projections (now down to 10 days) appear in sequence at the end of the table and the first of these can be compared to the report for 24d, all the rest can be compared to the end of month actual anomalies. ...

Seems that IAH fell a bit short of estimates mainly because some clear spells at night allowed mins to drop below predicted values, the recent maxes have been as warm as expected. ... so this gives most of us a few extra points and leaves the question of a boosted score moot as it seems that either raw or progression scoring would yield similar values at the top end, raw scoring better towards the bottom end. DEN where we had no scoring issues had somewhat the same finish, colder nights more than daytime forecast errors, partly due to intermittent snow cover, dropped the anomalies more than already expected. Otherwise the estimates have held up quite well in fact ORD has been on the money since the first sight of day 16 on the GFS (congrats shared around NWS, GFS and RJS but mostly the first two as my role was that of data reader). :) 

 

_our forecast consensus ___ +1.0 _+0.9 _+0.5 ___ +0.8 _+1.5 _+1.5 ____+0.7 _+0.5 _--1.0

_our forecast errors (avg) __ +4.2 _+3.3 _+1.5 ___ +1.8 _+2.3 _--3.3 ____--1.6 _--1.1 _--0.8

(analysis -- we were mostly warministas in the east, even our closest forecasts were short of the cold mark set by DCA and NYC, we had a few alert to BOS, ORD and ATL outcomes, but we showed a smaller cold bias in the west and our best forecasts were considerably below the actual value for IAH).

previous and current notes:

15th _ The 7d NWS forecasts used on the 8th (line 2) have verified (line 3) within 0.4 deg which is considered excellent.

The GFS forecasts made on the 8th (line 5) appear to be in the ballpark but perhaps a bit conservative given the new projections, albeit these are not directly comparable to any other line in the table but the first three days of the new GFS estimate would give values from the 21st to 24th that are generally about 1 to 2 deg more variable with same signs. 

At the moment the end of month projections are a little too uncertain to bother starting a provisional scoring table but the consensus score from those values (line 6) would be 566 out of 900, so if you're closer to the provisionals than our consensus, you would score that much more (at this early estimate). I think there's probably more room for consensus to improve than to lose ground too, coldish looking GFS days 8 to 16 may turn out to bring some warming opportunities near end of month that are not in the works as of today. Heavy snow cover in New England on the other hand could be a source for colder anomalies near end of month if any higher pressure is not well supported by rising thickness and upper temp profiles. 

22nd _ The NWS forecasts for this past week were very close at an average error of only 0.4 deg, none greater than 1 deg. The coming week looks quite cold in the east, near normal for ORD and warm for DEN and IAH, closer to average for PHX and SEA. The end of the month anomalies required three days from the GFS (29th to 31st) and the trends there are similar except warmer in PHX and SEA. At this point it looks as though coldest forecasts will score highest in the east but a more random selection will prevail elsewhere. Will post the preliminary scoring to track how we're all doing. 

25th _ The anomaly for BOS is shown with an * because the 20th and 21st are not in the table and the value could be a bit lower based on the rest of the data and the two days from their climate reports (they average -6).  The value given (-1.2) is for the 22 days available so my estimate for the 24 days is -1.5 deg as shown. The double ** at the end of the 24d row alerts you to another row generated on the 8th from the first anomaly tracker plus 7-day NWS and 8 to 16 day GFS estimate (several rows lower in the table). The average error for these was 1.4 deg but were either same sign or involved a zero forecast and small negative anomaly (SEA, BOS). These "forecasts" score 72/100 on average which is a bit higher than our current leader (with slight benefit of boosted scoring at IAH in his case). The two locations (DCA, IAH) that were subject to boosted scores (where raw max score is below 60) have edged closer to normal scoring but if they reach normal scoring most "boosted" scores would remain very similar, there is actually only a few points gained by the field at present time. IAH scoring is checked against raw score and in some lower scores the raw score is higher so therefore placed in the scoring table. NYC has moved a little further away from needing the boost and BOS scores all went up by 20 (or whatever penalties provide in the 15-19 range). PHX looking quite warm at end of the month and I worked that out to be 0.5 higher than previously, some scores falling and some rising. SEA now looking cold at end of month and will stay a bit below normal although it could edge above briefly by 28th-29th before falling back. Next update on 27th based on 26 days. 

27th _ Slight changes to eastern locations and ORD, DEN all running a bit warmer than previously estimated. This will mainly boost all scores. 

29th __ Have updated the anomalies but left the provisionals unchanged. Next report for end of month.

31st-1st April __ Final anomalies are now all posted and scoring tables are adjusted where necessary.

Final scoring for March, 2018

At this point, only IAH may qualify for a small mesaure of boosted scoring since no raw score is above 60. DCA and NYC squeaked in with a few raw scores above 60 and therefore we are all stuck with our relatively low raw scores there. Late penalties are only applied after these scoring rules  are applied. With 17 forecasts, the sequence is 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 36, 32, 28, 24, 20, 16, 12, 09, 06, 04, 02, 00. Any scores that would be higher by normal scoring rules than their value in that sequence are left where they stand. When the progression is used, Normal and consensus can be scored at other values to fit them to the contestant scores.

BOS (-1.0) narrowly missed qualifying as third lowest forecasts were high score. 

ORD (-1.0) was not close to being an extreme forecast.

ATL (-0.8) was a win for Roger Smith (-1.0) and a loss for RodneyS (-1.3).

IAH (-4.9) was a win for wxallannj (-2.4) and a "no decision" for Orangeburgwx (-2.6) who was not high score due to late penalty.

DEN (-2.3) was also a win for wxallannj (-2.4).

PHX (-1.6) was a shared win for wxallannj and RodneyS. 

SEA (-0.2) was not close to being an extreme forecast.
