FYI, late penalties to date have cost BKV a total of 131 points which if added to total score would improve overall rank from 7th to 4th place. No telling how much of that might not occur if the later data available was not considered, which is most of the reason for the late penalty rather than a punitive motive (translated to simple English, a late entry could score higher than the same forecaster's on time entry because of model improvement and data already known, whether by the 8% per 36h that is usually in play or less, an open question). Tom had one late penalty month and lost 31 points which was not enough to change rank from 9th. And wxdude64 lost a small total of nine points with one per cent reductions in one month; that made no difference to his third place rank.

Before bowing out, RJay had lost 98 points to late penalties and Stebo 46. At that time they had lost two and one ranking respectively.

I know Man. I gotta put reminder in phone. I spend so much time all month on weather stuff and forget this—always! Anyway, the “more” interesting temp forecasts months are coming so hope I get it together lol
