Predict the temperature anomalies (F deg) relative to 1981-2010 normal values:

DCA _ NYC _ BOS __ ORD _ ATL _ IAH ___ DEN _ PHX _ SEA

Anyone who didn't enter the seasonal max portion can still enter that too.

Good luck !! 

DCA +2

NYC +1.5

BOS +1.5

ORD +3

ATL +1.0

IAH +1.0

DEN +.5

PHX +2.0

SEA +2.5

01 _ final anomalies _________ +4.1 _+3.5 _+1.9 __+5.2 _+1.9 _+2.2 ___ +2.3 _+4.1 _+1.3

(9th) _ A very warm start to July for much of the nation's mid-section, but the heat not quite reaching BOS, and cool in the Pac NW. Those trends will begin to fade towards normal conditions in all regions as the month goes on, so some imprint of this start can be seen in the projections for late in the month. 

(16th) _ The anomalies continued on the warm side in all but BOS and SEA, with a slight moderating trend. This seems to be the most likely projection to the end of the month, with gradually diminishing positive anomalies for most, a slow drift towards near or above normal for BOS and SEA. ... PHX has recorded 116 if you're tracking your seasonal max forecasts.

(23rd) _ Anomalies did not change very much over the past week and seem to be heading for finishes near where they are now, may boot up a provisional scoring table soon. Have included the seasonal max to date in the above tables. So far SEA has not beaten (just tied) a value set on May 10th. Most other locations have set a seasonal max recently. 

(30th) _ Not much change in the past week, SEA finally had some hot weather (it has been in the mid to upper 90s throughout the region for days). Provisional scoring is adjusted for today's revised (and likely close to final) anomalies.

(1st Aug) _ Final anomalies and scoring adjustments being posted as they hit my screen. PHX new seasonal max of 118 F.

Final scoring for July 2020

Scores for PHX were boosted to the progression of 60, 55, 50 etc, unless raw scores were higher than the progression (boosted scores shown with ^ symbol). The highest raw score was 58. Progression scores of 25 and lower reverted to raw scores which were then higher (no ^ symbol).

The order of scoring is certainly quite close for most, and could change before final values posted.

BEST SCORES -- Totals for January to July

Forecasters are listed in same order as annual points standings. 

Ties are possible which is why some locations have more than two best scores, also, if Normal or consensus

achieve a top score, the actual forecaster with high score gets an award also.
