Metsfan Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Nice day for me went 76/33/16/0 . I was four points away from the actual climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Nice job! Had a 4 point day myself. Not too terrible, especially compared to national consensus. Looks like I'm in 17th place. And only 2.7 points separates me from my friend B. Yehl in first place. You're jthyde, right? 55th place, not too shabby! Yep that's me. It's nice when you can play with the Alumni at your school We're trying to beef up our forecasting team to compete with you PSU guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Persistence (at 1719) is doing worse than Climo (at 1616). Really says something about the volatility of these western cities. Meanwhile, if I hadn't screwed the pooch on the low (I went 38) I wouldn't actually had a pretty good day with that 22-knot wind on the Climo report.

Chrisrotary12 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Was busy all day. Did not have a chance to follow the weather in Billings today. Climo report was very good for me. Moved up from 202 to 116. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Boy tomorrows forecast is tricky with the cold front going through mid to late afternoon....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Boy tomorrows forecast is tricky with the cold front going through mid to late afternoon....... I bet there will be a big spread in forecast high temperatures and winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I bet there will be a big spread in forecast high temperatures and winds. Honestly the only spread that will be remotely close will be the one for precip. Even the low temperature forecast for tomorrow is a challenge. Especially if one believes that it will occur after the cold front goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2Otown_WX Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 62/38/41/0.05..wanted to make sure I don't bust high on the low as I did last week. I will likely bust low but I'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably be 4 to 9 degrees too low on the low. You really okay with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 There were a lot of times last year where the "6z on the following night" low underachieved a bit. Additionally, the airmass behind the front isn't all THAT cold, and it'll be quite windy. That's why I went with 46 as my low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 61/42/34/0.14 Whats with everyone 65 plus on the high? I know mos is like 66/67 but all I looked at was at max 64. Snet form a deivce that cannot speel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snet form a deivce that cannot speel. The high temp forecast was the toughest part for me. But I went 65 because I'm not sure it will be completely overcast all day; that combined with a prefrontal airmass made me go 65. Could have easily gone a couple of degrees lower, though. My [former] professor went with a high of 67. That surprised me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My [former] professor went with a high of 67. That surprised me a bit. Wasn't a perfectly sunny, high-pressure mixing up to 700mb argument something like 68F? Seems like with advection (even if it's not impressive) and clouds/precip during the day, it's hard to argue anywhere near that. There might be a little something to say about downsloping tomorrow, but 67F seems unreasonable, and 65F even seems too high, I think. Well I was like 8 too high day 3 last week..so yeah lol. Too bad they wouldn't cancel out, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Here is what I was going off of... So even if it doesn't quite get down tonight, there is good consensus for 40-44 at 6z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
