May 2018 temperature forecast contest, Regional Rumble, and annual max temp contest

The usual monthly temperature forecast contest (and continuation of the now very close Regional Rumble) will be accompanied this month by the annual max contest. We have had this added bonus contest each of the past three years and most of our regulars have entered it -- see rules below.

For the temperature forecast contest, it's the usual challenge to predict the anomalies (in F deg) relative to 1981-2010 "normals" for

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

For the annual maximum contest, it's simply based on the 2018 maximum for each of those same locations, with the season being all year rather than the summer months alone, as the max can happen in May or September. So add on those forecasts to your May anomaly predictions. 

Deadline for the main temperature contest is 06z May 1st with 1% penalties from then on every four hours to 18z May 2nd and 1% per hour late after that. 

There won't be a late penalty applied to the seasonal max portion, if you happen to forget and then edit them in before May 10th or so when I make up a table of entries for the seasonal max, that will be fine, and it gives me a few days to send reminders. And if anyone just wants to enter this seasonal max contest alone, that will be fine too. 

Good luck !!!

(April provisional scoring available, everything is tightening up in all contests ... and the snowfall contest is pretty much done now, as DEN is still way below even our minimum forecast and it's unlikely to snow (much) at the other locations -- that contest is updated when necessary back in the February thread but I will move the likely results to this thread around May 8th or so -- technically the contest runs to June 30th).

color codes show warmest and coldest forecasts, where Normal is bold, it is colder than lowest forecast or tied.

A table of entries for the Seasonal max contest will be posted around May 11th, you have until end of 10th to edit or post those.

Good luck (nice to see only very small late penalties all round this month)

April results are posted ... Regional Rumble is very close.

Snowfall contest results are probably final now since all entrants have at least 14" left for DEN before increasing errors, will be moving that table from the

February thread to this one soon.

There is little sign of any further snowfall at DEN so with all forecasters holding at least 14" in reserve there,

contest outcome is likely sealed. I will check the tables back in the February thread and move the final results

here in a day or two. DonSutherland.1 is leading with hudsonvalley21 in second place. 

A reminder, anyone who did not give seasonal max predictions has until end of 10th to edit them in or post, 

then a table of seasonal max forecasts will appear.

We are good to go with the seasonal max contest, I think all the regular contest entrants have placed their markers so here's a table of forecasts ... in order of DCA forecast then where tied, NYC etc until the ties are broken ... and consensus will be our average rather than the median. 

Note (15th) will be adding actual values as we get into June, but SEA has already hit 88 (our minimum forecast) as of May 14th.

Near-final report on snowfall contest

The following tables are moved over from the February thread where they have been updated. DEN seems unlikely to see much if any snow in the next two weeks and since all forecasters have plenty left to give in terms of DEN error, we can probably assume these results are final even if we have to add small amounts to DEN totals and remove similar amounts of error from each forecaster. I will maintain a watch on this to June 30th just in case. But for now, it is congrats to DonSutherland.1 and hudsonvalley21 for leading the way in our snowfall contest. Glad we added DTW, BUF and BTV to the locations although ATL and IAH actually had more snow this past winter than in any of the contest years when they were included.

____________________________________________

15th _ The past week forecasts proved a little warm for parts of the northeast and Great Lakes as it actually turned very cool for two days, while for SEA the opposite occurred, warmth was predicted but record heat developed in the past two days, and combined that likely accounts for the larger errors but overall the accuracy of NWS estimates was fairly good at other locations, the overall average error was 1.34 deg. (0.5 for the best five). My longer term estimates (bottom row) take the p21d NWS values and assume half-strength continued warming at most locations since the patterns don't appear to change very much, continued similar for southeast to Gulf, so I feel that these end of month estimates are more likely to err on the conservative side. As all nine are still warmer than almost all forecasts, could be a green light for early provisional scoring.  

22nd _ This past week, NWS forecasts averaged an excellent 0.43 deg average error. The end of month projections all remain the same except for ATL which now appears closer to our forecast range so that gives all forecasters a boost of about 20 points.

25th _ We now have provisionals all based on seven-day NWS forecasts. Some of those are a bit higher than previous, and the few BOS cases of higher forecasts than provisionals are now eliminated (for the time being). A few remain at PHX which did not change. Some boosted scoring situations are developing but I will leave that for the final analysis, it won't make much difference to differentials. The estimates made on the 8th can be directly compared to today's updated anomalies. The average error was only 1.1 deg and half of that was due to a large error for SEA, so the GFS was doing a good job (the NWS portion can be assumed to be small). 

29th _ There was once again excellent agreement between 7d NWS forecasts and actual values, average error only 0.68 deg. ORD ran warmer as temperatures soared to record values, 97 is the seasonal MAX already for ORD. ... Provisionals are adjusted slightly in some cases. Except for PHX they remain warmer than all forecasts.

Final scoring for May 2018

Since late penalties are small (1-2 pts) I have just incorporated them directly into the scoring for May. The station scores are now post-penalty and the various subtotals and grand totals from those subtotals are also post-penalty (the raw scores are reduced by one to three shown by *, ** or ***). Some were too low to get any reduction. 

ORD, DEN and SEA scores are now boosted as the max raw scores remain under 60. The progression used is 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 36, 32, 28, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 09, 06, 04, 02. If your raw score is higher than your progression score, you get the higher raw score. Boosted scores are indicated with a ^ symbol (where reduced by late penalty, only the late penalty * code appears, check lower scores to see if you were boosted). Most raw scores for ORD and DEN were higher than the progression, while the scoring for SEA was generally boosted as a result.

--- -- <<<<==== Annual Updated Scoring Jan - May 2018 ====>>>> -- ----

 

Part One: Eastern and Central (Original Six) 

... best scores, first six numbers are for six locations, next two for eastern and central totals, then months won (red)

... station totals in red indicate best total scores, eastern and central in bold indicate best subtotals.

... when normal or consensus have high scores, forecasters with high scores also shown.

MAY now based on final scoring ... best scores indicated for both "AfewUniverses b n" and if he had one, for any regular, marked*

... these second awards would be withdrawn if "AfewU bn" enters at least five months including May by end of year.

... as an example, 2* for me at DCA would revert to 1 if withdrawn, any 1* would revert to 0 (these may change to higher values in later months)

Extreme Forecast Update

This was a great month for new (to here) forecaster "AfewUniversesbelownormal" who captured five. Regulars who were second in those will earn a win if "AfewUbn" racks up fewer than five months by end of year, so for now any second awards will be marked with asterisks and withdrawn if or when he reaches five. 

DCA _ Final +6.4, win for "afewU b n" at +4.0 and depending on future entries for "afewU b n" also a win for Roger Smith at +3.6. 

NYC _ Final +4.5, win for "afewU b n" at +3.5 and (see above) Roger Smith at +3.4.

BOS _ Final +4.2, a win for Roger Smith at +4.0. 

ORD _ Final +7.0, a win for DonSutherland.1 at +2.8. 

ATL _ Final +4.7, a win for "a few U b n" at +3.0 and tied scores of Orangeburgwx +2.6 (-2 late) and Roger Smith at +2.5

IAH _ Final +2.9, a win for Roger Smith at +2.8. 

DEN _ Final +4.3,  a win for three tied at +2.0 (A few U bn, Roger Smith, RodneyS) ... the tie means no second award situation.

SEA _ Final +5.0, a win for RodneyS at +2.6

(PHX at +1.4 will not qualify). 

Extreme Forecasts wins and losses

In this table, secondary wins where "a few Universes below normal" had a win in May are marked by # symbols, and will be withdrawn if "a few Univ bn" enters a total of five contests in 2018. For DEN, two regulars tied with "a few Univ bn" and those will be retained in any case.
