@Rjay @GaWx

I think are the only 2 that have not submitted. Up to folks how they want to handle the late entries (quite a few by just a few hours). Ill be back early on the 5th so I should be able to post updates, iffy connection at times so hopefully this goes through. Happy 4th everyone!

Thank you, but I don’t think I’m going to do July. I’m currently too busy to take enough time to analyze the data (forecast and historic) well.

We had quite a bit of moving that took place from last month to this. The contest is still very close so continue to do your best. Here are the annual totals up to the end of May scoring for May can be seen on the previous page.

 

Ok sorry for the delay got back on the 4th and was bombarded by storms, lost power and internet. Then yesterday we had flash flooding still no power, hope it comes back tomorrow.

We had very little movement in numbers. We had a few late entries and they are marked with * 1% for those affected most were 7 points off RJAY ended up only 6 points off the original total so not much of a difference.

I included a consensus number to both GaWx and Stormchaserchuck for the months they were missing to get an idea if they had played through where they would stand in the far right column.

 

[so_whats_happening]

Im honestly debating on the late entries for this month (July) as it stands these are the forecasts and the what coinciding late entry percentages look like. Ill maul it over and if see if anyone else wants to chime in about it.

Ill see if I can also do a quick update for max temps and where they stand thus far in a week or so.

 

[so_whats_happening]

If anyone finds discrepancies in the numbers please let me know. For the deductions for June I picked 7 stations to knock down 1 point and 6 stations for RJay.
