The low should be 29°F, so in that sense it's definitely wrong. But I'm digging deeper into the wind as well.

 

If you check the 400 PM climate, you'll see MM for the time of high temp. This shows you there was a data outage, and the ASOS then "estimates" the weather elements. They may be correct, they may not be, but they show up as estimated for us. The peak wind for the day is listed as 25 mph (22 knots) but beyond that we won't really ever know the truth. As to why the CLI and CF6 products don't agree, that I have no real answer for.

Just curious how you reached the office. I don't like hearing this.

 

 

Thanks for the response!

 

I sent an email to the "webmaster" at [email protected] yesterday morning. Never got a response. My friend Zach got a hold of the office via Facebook, though, and has since mentioned the 25mph correction to Brad (the WxChallenge manager), so it should all be straightened out as well as can be expected now.

I apologize for the lack of webmaster response.

 

We actually had a winter weather workshop that day and Caribou was providing service backup for us. So nobody at our office noticed the data outage since it was so brief and we weren't actually in operations. Glad we could clean up the climate database a little though.

40/29/12/0.08"

 

Had 30 initially and things started dropping a bit fast by 0z so bumped down a tad. It's at 31 now and I'm not expecting a significant drop the rest of tonight, although a brief break in the clouds may ruin that. Hoping the front comes through fast enough to allow for some gustier NW winds at the end of the period.

I was one off the high too which I forgot to mention. Wind ended up at 7kts, so only 1.5 error points yesterday!

And yes.

Nice job, how are you doing so far today? I completely misread the synoptic evolution of today...I thought that it was a WF giving us the showers and then we could potentially get some breaks in the warm sector. I was very wrong hence 43F won't come close to verifying. Looks like 37 or 38 will be it. :axe: And I also gambled with 13 kts on the wind occurring right before 06z tonight. Latest data would seem to indicate it definitely won't be until AFTER 06z that they see wind of that magnitude. :arrowhead: All in all though, I'm 26th overall so can't complain too much.

Nice man! 26th overall is pretty impressive. I am 286 right now but I'm pretty happy with that considering I was down around 800 a few days ago. Today I had 39 because I figured it would play out just like it did. I just should have gone even lower on the max. I'm surprised consensus was so high on the max. Precip I did okay, low I hit right on. Wind will probably kill me also because I was banking on it picking up tonight as well (I had 11kts). All in all though Concord has gone okay.

286 is pretty damn good if you were around 800. Maybe that damn front will get there in time, I doubt it though. I took a gamble trying to get into the top 10 but it backfired lol.
