SnowLover22 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I was thinking we could do a contest guessing the max intensity of Irma. Here is how it will go you will guess what the lowest minimum central pressure will be and the highest wind speed. The scoring will work as follows every 1mb you are away from the actual lowest is minus 1 point. And every 5 mph you are away from the actual highest mph reading is minus 1 point. This is since nws intensity goes in multiples of 5. The scoring would look like this. If I guessed 941mb min and 140 mph max winds, and the actual was 935mb and max winds 150mph, my score would be -8. -6 for being 6mb off and -2 for being 10 mph off. So good luck! TIEBREAKER IS LANDFALL LOCATION in contiguous United States .You can always say none of you think it's going Ots. Contest closes at 12pm Tuesday. EDIT AND CHANGES ARE ALLOWED UP UNTIL THE DEADLINE.

Windspeed Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 918 mb / 180 mph / Charleston, SC Should be said this is just a contest and the landfall or OTA guesses for tiebreak should not be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowLover22 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Cutoff is in description is Tuesday 12 pm. And landfall is anywhere in the contiguous United States. 21 minutes ago, Windspeed said: 918 mb / 165 mph You need a cutoff time for entry. And you also need to clarify landfall. I could pick Bahamas / Mayagauna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could at least peg the max winds and min pressure. (Continuation) Everything remains on the table, it is any mans guess as to where this heads.

bobbutts Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 910mb 150mph Pensacola/PCB area FL. Probably a bit crazy on landfall point, but it seems really difficult to peg where a sharp turn will occur and I feel like this contest is biased east so far, so I'll even it out a bit.

Hazey Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 933mb/140mph Hilton Head Island, SC <edit>Crap I thought it was max winds and pressure at land fall, not life duration of storm. I'll stick to my guess but with the caveat that the windspeed and pressure are at time of land fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yourchoice Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 921mb/145mph - Pompano Beach, FL ... If edits / changes are allowed - I'll stick with 921 but change to 190mph - if not, I'm already way off!
