Hoosier Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 A number of areas look to challenge their all-time February record highs tomorrow, and with the major unseasonable warmth in general, here is a contest for tomorrow's highs. This is simply OVER/UNDER, with 2 exceptions for tiebreakers where exact values are required. I give a value and you guess over or under. For reference, the all-time February record highs for each city are provided in parentheses. OVER/UNDER Chicago, IL ORD: 74.5 (record: 75) Rockford, IL RFD: 71.5 (record: 70) Milwaukee, WI MKE: 70.5 (record: 68) Moline, IL MLI: 76.5 (record: 74) St. Louis, MO STL: 80.5 (record: 85) Indianapolis, IN IND: 72.5 (record: 76) Fort Wayne, IN FWA: 71.5 (record: 73) Tiebreaker 1: Guess the exact high temperature on Wednesday at Champaign, IL (CMI) Tiebreaker 2: Guess the exact low temperature on Wednesday at Chicago, IL (ORD) Contest is open until 12 a.m. central time. You can edit up until then but any entries/edits after midnight will not be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiebreaker 1: 74 Tiebreaker 2: 51 honestly when I checked the zone forecast at the time, I think it was showing 62 or something, and I know Detroit's all time high is 70. Looks like it could get close though if things work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even today they were low by 2 even with us being full cloudy and their expecting of breaks this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high of 76.5 at MLI would round up to 77 on the climate report. So I'm going to put you down as over at MLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 And the winner is...... cyclone77! He got 2 wrong. Chicago Storm came in second place. Ended up being a challenging day with the fog/stratus issues. The only location that went over was MKE. Actual outcome: ORD: under RFD: under MKE: over MLI: under STL: under IND: under FWA: under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 ouch, only got three correct. Didn't really take into account fog issues while making my forecast. oh well. But this was fun, I enjoy having these small forecasts contests throughout the year. Thanks for running this, Hoosier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
