The contest enters a new season with DonSutherland.1 edging a little further ahead of RJay overall and in the original six, meanwhile RJay has the western lead ahead of some guy we never heard of before. 

The clallenge is to predict temperature anomalies (in F deg) relative to 1981-2010 normal (average) values for these nine locations:

___ DCA _ NYC _ BOS ___ ORD _ ATL _ IAH ___ DEN _ PHX _ SEA

Deadline for entries without late penalties is 06z, Friday September 1st. Penalties of 1% per 2h late then apply for 36h and after that it would be 1% per hour. Make a note to yourself to enter before you disappear for Labor Day weekend festivities.

color coding for high and low forecasts refers to 15 regular entrants only, some others are more extreme and are underlined if so.

 

welcome to rainsucks and IntenseBlizzard2014, and welcome back H2O_Town__wx. :)

 

note: from now to end of 2017, Consensus is only based on 15 all-year or "regular" forecasters so that it will be 8th ranked forecast of those 15, and best scores, extreme forecasts will be awarded both full-field and within that group of regular entrants plus H2OTown_wx who had five months in the contest earlier. I am going back into earlier months to see if there are any additional best scores to be awarded on that same basis.

Seasonal Maxima for 2017 contest -- Updated scoring

Normal will sit this one out and consensus is the average rather than the median this time. Once this table appears, your entries are set, and have been cross-checked for accuracy of posting. Forecasts appear in the order of DCA then if tied, NYC and if still tied, BOS etc. "To date" will be continuously updated, and shows the highest value of 2017 so far. 

In this table of entries, current scores are shown ahead of your name.  Scores are total errors to date (e.g., 2 deg = 2 points). The  total score is partly subject to improvement  unless your forecast was lower than the maximum to date, then your score can possibly increase for that location. The most widespread locked in points are for SEA (already 96) and DEN (already 100). 

Scores appear in order generated by the total errors to date, with the original entries and the totals shown in a second (lower) table which starts with highest DCA forecast, and then lists all forecasters in that order, using the first broken tie where required. 

TABLE 1: Scoring error points (adjusted when seasonal max changes) -- red numbers denote errors that can increase, black numbers can decrease (your forecast higher than seasonal max to date). Bold zero indicates any forecast currently on the mark for seasonal max to date (these can only increase too).

Total score to date is the first entry in each line. Total points subject to further increase is the last entry under Pts locked.

Max to date _____________ 98 __ 94 __ 95 ____ 95 __94 __100___ 100 _ 119 _ 96

(updated through October 1 ... although ORD tied their seasonal MAX of 95 in the late September heat wave, no station has increased since July and the contest is now declared settled.)

WINNER -- CCM (21 error points) ... shared 2 perfect forecasts

2nd PLACE -- BKViking (22 error points) ... shared 2 perfect forecasts

3rd PLACE -- (tied) wxdude64 and wxallannj (23 error points)

In general our seasonal MAX guesses were a bit on the higher side of reality at all but the western locations which tended to run warmer than many expected. ATL was particularly cool, I would bet that their max of 94 is the lowest or one of the lowest they have ever seen -- same goes for NYC

Final scoring September 2017

Best scores are in bold, best totals in bold italics, and where a "regular" forecaster does not have high score, the within-regular-forecasters' high score is indicated in italics (examples, BOS, ORD). 

ORD scores are now adjusted up to meet "minimum progression" rule where 40 must be high score for the field (applied to regular 16 entrants and IntenseBlizzard2014 as rainsucks was above that, that score will remain adjusted halfway from raw to 100). This rule was also applied to low scores in January and March.

<<< ---=--- 2017 Annual Scoring Summary (January-September) ---=--- >>>

... ... ... ... ... ... ... (see post 23 above for final September scoring) ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Best scores: The first six numbers refer to the six locations, the last two refer to eastern and central division totals. Months won (in this part of the contest) are shown by name after the number codes. There are sometimes ties so the totals may add up higher than the number of months. Best total scores January-September are highlighted in red in the table for six locations, and in bold italic for two groups and for all six. Also, best scores are awarded both within the group of regular entrants and the larger total field; this explains some double entries this month.

NOTES:

* one month missed (Jan). # one month missed (Apr), ~~ two months missed (July, August)

~ three months missed (July, August, September)

^ three months entered (Jan, Feb, Mar)

%% two months entered (May, June) ... % one month entered (July)

Reports on ranking with late penalties removed

 

Jan late penalty for Blazess556 total of 2, (0,2) -- no change in rank

 March late penalty deductions:

... Rjay lost 41 (22,19), Damage lost 18 (13,5) and wxdude64 lost 14 (12,2). 

...  RJay currently 1st in the all nine, and he would remain 2nd in original six and is already first in western. _ Damage, see July _ wxdude64, see September.

April late penalty deductions:

... H2O_Town__wx lost 51 (25,26) and Neckbeard93 lost 32 (14,18).

... H2O_Town__wx see September. Neckbeard would see no change in ranks in any contest. 

May late penalty deductions:

... BKViking lost 32 (20, 12).

... BKViking would move up one spot to 3rd in original six, and no changes to western or all nine rankings. 

June late penalty deductions:

... Stebo lost 39 (24,15).

... Stebo would move up one to 13th place in the western contest, otherwise unchanged in ranks. 

July late penalty deductions:

... Damage in Tolland lost 98 (75, 23). annual total now 116 (88, 28)

... Damage in Tolland would remain 13th place in the original six and would stay 12th in the western contest although moving in just behind several others in 8th to 11th places, and would move up one spot into 13th overall.

September late penalty deductions:

... wxdude64 lost 11 (7,4) bringing the annual total to 25 (19,6), and H2OTown_wx lost 26 (15, 11) for an annual total of 77 (40, 37). 

... wxdude64 would move up one spot in the western contest.

... H2OTown_wx would not change ranks.

__ ranks for Consensus and Normal do not affect ranks of lower scoring forecasters.

 

NEW THIS MONTH __ comparative scoring for Neckbeard93 and so_whats_happening

... These two regular participants missed one month each, but a different month with different ranges of scoring. Neckbeard93 missed January and so_whats_happening missed April.

 I assume for the sake of a better comparison that they scored the average of the other forecasters who participated in those months. Those averages were 365 in January (141 east and central, 224 western) and 469 for April (249, 220).

Based on those numbers, the comparative totals (and improved ranks) for these two would be

Neckbeard93 ____________2468 __ 1675 ___ 4143 _____ 11th __ 13th __ 13th

so_whats_happening _____ 2572 __ 1936 ___ 4508 _____ 12th __ 1st ___ 7th

(these ranks compare with time penalty totals and would fall slightly if compared with raw scores before time penalties ... also, there's no real way of estimating what these forecasters might have scored in the two months ... the January scores east-central were very low). 

For H2OTown__wx who missed July and August, if 800 and 400 points had been scored in the two sections, ranks would be 12th, 8th and 11th.

DCA _ At a final value of +1.5, it's a win for SD (+1.0) and a loss for rainsucks (+3.0).

NYC _ The final value (+2.5) gives rainsucks (+2.5) a win and SD (+1.0) a "within regular forecasters" win.  

BOS _ The final value (+2.2) gives rainsucks (+1.8) a win and SD (+0.5) a "within regular forecasters" win.

ORD _ The final value (+4.8) gives rainsucks (+3.5) a win and both SD and so_what's_happening (+0.4) the "regular forecasters" win.

ATL and IAH did not qualify with outcomes near consensus.

DEN (final value +1.7) was rather close to consensus and did not qualify.

PHX (final value -0.5) was a win for rainsucks (-0.7) and also for wxdude64 (-0.2, 2% late penalty) best score among regular forecasters.

SEA just fell short of qualifying at +3.4, four forecasts were warmer and fifth warmest Stebo (+3.4) has the high score.

Well, regular forecasters (15 or 16 of us), we had our butts kicked by both new forecasters "rainsucks" and IntenseBlizzard2014 this month. Congrats to them. 

The seasonal MAX contest is declared final (post 21) and there again, CCM who entered only to do that contest and one month won the top spot, BKViking was a close second.
