June-September scoring

_________________________

 

Your June forecast was worth 8/100 of the monthly half of the contest.

Your July forecast was worth 15/100 of the monthly portion.

Your August forecast was worth 25/100 of the monthly portion, and is based on a final count of 2,0,0.

Your September forecast was worth 30/100 of the monthly portion, and is based on a final count of 4,2,0.

In the above, no new entry or -- -- -- entries indicate no monthly forecast yet received for Oct or N-D, in some cases the blanks refer back to earlier month which is the last month of any seasonal update indicated, or July where not indicated.


 


The consensus values are an average of median and mean since the cluster effect was going to give a false result for median alone.

October: 3/1/1

Not doing November yet

Season unchanged

 

Under my quirky rules you have to give Nov-Dec with this forecast. Really this more or less replaces the old concept of updating the seasonal forecast on October 1st, it's the same calculation if you follow my drift.

 

The late penalty doesn't apply if you notice this a day or two from now, just edit in and I will post it above. Contest entries close entirely this week.

I'm not going to do it because scientifically it's too early to judge whether or not the subtropics may or may not produce an STS during November.  I'd rather wait to see how conditions are through October and to maintain consistency through previous months.

Just an update (really, you exclaim) ... so far the bonus question about max landfall in the US is sitting at June 6th 60 mph TS (Andrea) in nw FL. If you guessed that, you're not one of us.

 

So that means the bonus remains unresolved because obviously that could still be beaten out by any sort of Novembercane or even a Decembercane. The chances of this at random would appear to be less than one in three (including what's left of October).

 

But so far, if your guess was for an early date and a weak hurricane, you'll be scoring well on this bonus.

 

Meanwhile, just for sake of argument, here's how various seasonal forecasts (if unaltered over season) would score at an outcome of 12/3/0 which is what we'll have if one more storm develops and it becomes a hurricane. I won't even bother you with the 11/2/0 scores. For 12/2/0 these scores would drop a few points each.

 

20/10/5 scores 21/100

 

19/10/5 scores 29/100

 

18/9/4 scores 48/100

 

17/9/3 scores 58/100

 

16/8/3 scores 69/100

 

15/7/2 scores 81/100

 

14/6/1 scores 90/100

 

For late entrants, note that you're working off 70 for a July entry.

 

Those estimates should give you a rough idea where your seasonal forecasts will finish in the scoring system. You never know what might happen (1887 had four storms later than today's date).

 

(edit)

 

With Lorenzo added in, the concept of potential score from a Nov storm that becomes a hurricane now shifts to 13,3,0 rather than 12,3,0 ... this would boost all of the above as follows:

 

20/10/5 scores 29/100

 

19/10/5 scores 36/100

 

18/9/4 scores 54/100

 

17/9/3 scores 63/100

 

16/8/3 scores 73/100

 

15/7/2 scores 84/100

 

14/6/1 scores 92/100

Just two points available for your already-submitted Nov-Dec forecasts.

 

See previous post to get an idea of your seasonal scores. These will be posted towards the end of November with the option of adjusting them later if necessary.

Provisional seasonal scoring -- updated for Melissa

 

 

The previous post gives all but 2% of your monthly forecast scores. That 2% depends on the count in Nov-Dec. This table gives your provisional scores as of the current count of 13,2,0. If we get any further increases in storm or hurricane count, I will have to do this over. Scores are likely to remain in this order. The bonus question scoring will have to wait until the season officially ends because anything that happens now could totally reverse the bonus scores for date if not location and intensity.

 

 

Just a reminder, your seasonal score is based on 70% for the original June entry (60% if your first entry was July), then 15% for most of the field for the July update, 10% for August (15% if you started in July) then 5% for the September update (10% for the few late starters in July). This imposes a 15% late penalty to July first entries and a 30% late penalty would have been applied to any August first seasonal entrants (nobody entered that late). As nobody was significantly late with any monthly forecast, I won't bother to apply any tiny late penalties to any of these:

Congrats to Free Man and PSUBlizzicane2007, CandymanCSG boulderr and icebreaker5221

 (and of course Normal 93 to 12).

 

Once these seasonal scores are finalized I will merge them with the monthly totals and the bonus points.

 

Looks as though Icebreaker5221 has the overall lead in the bag (well second to Normal anyway).  Wxmeddler could have a high finish and Chicago Storm did very well considering the penalty points or missing points for June.

_______________________________________________________________

 

(Dec 4) I have adjusted this table to reflect the 10-pt bonus question about landfalling storms. For now, it's hearty congrats to Normal 1993-2012 (zero posts) and among us humans, Icebreaker5221 and CandymanColumbusGA leading the way (Candyman moves ahead on bonus points). Late starter Chicago Storm had an even better scoring rate per points available (before bonus added).

 

Normal 1893-1912 might have done even better than his modern counterpart.

 

In general, the better seasonal forecasts were not highly correlated with monthly scores especially when I factor in the tendency for low seasonal scorers to give up and stop forecasting monthly numbers earlier than those with good seasonal scores looming. But some of us just sucked in general (my hand is certainly up).

Bonus scores for max landfalling storm

 

 

Rules stated that a 5% bonus (i.e., 10 points) would be given for forecasts of maximum landfalling storm in the U.S., on the basis of intensity, location and date (see rules in post 1 for details, dates were all way off so were scored by rank order). Ten forecasts would receive points from 10 down to 1. The max landfalling storm was a rather underwhelming 60-kt tropical storm (Andrea) on June 6 in n.w. Florida. On that basis, the error points were tabulated and points awarded as follows (ties broken first by intensity, all with 8 pts got a minimum of 1 bonus point):

 

Dunkman 4 ______ 10

Weatherkid 4 _____ 9

Candyman 5 _____ 8

boulderr 7 _______ 7

Ed Lizard 7 ______ 6

wxmeddler 8 _____ 5

hudsonvalley 8 ___ 4

tropwxan13 8 ____ 3

bkviking 8 _______ 2

PSUBlzz 8 _______ 1

Chicago Storm 8 __ 1

yoda 8 __________ 1

hurricaneman 8 ___ 1

Southern Snow 8 __ 1

 

snowflake 22 would have won this bonus had they not changed their forecast. Not giving a date or having a later than mid-Sep date was enough to move any forecast out of the bonus point range if any error in location, given the intensity errors which were all at least 2. These bonus points are incorporated into the previous post now, and barring any very late landfalling storms, this can be considered a final report.
