Roger Smith Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 Difficult to edit above post, basically, NOAA will go into contest at 21 10.5 5.5 and expert consensus will be 23 11 5. I will note UK 22 12 4 also. Working on table of forecasts, will be available on June 6. Contest is now closed to entries but I would accept any posted before table appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 __ Table of forecasts __ 2024 N Atlantic tropical season contest __ Scoring rules at base of table, order of entry breaks any tied scoring ranks. NOAA, expert consensus, UK and contest consensus will be ranked independently (won't affect your contest ranks) ... a few entries were posted on Net-weather (UK) and boards.ie weather forum (Ireland). ... ranks will be (a) overall and also (b) for each forum. Order of entry is for American Wx Forum entries, separate coded order of entry is given for guests. (e.g. NW-1 indicates first of five Net-weather entries). In event of U.S. and guest forecasts being tied, I will determine from forum posted dates relative order of entry. Contest consensus is a median (not a mean) of (not-specific-expert-group) on time entries.

Scoring for contest will follow same rules as previous years. Errors for named storms (S) are applied at 50% compared to errors in H and M For H and M error deductions (from 100 points) are an average of error and error squared. For example, a forecast of 11 H and outcome of 13 takes a penalty of 3 (average of 2 and 4). An error of six takes a penalty of 21 (average of 6 and 36) ... etc. Errors for number of storms will be calculated in similar way but will be divided by 2, so if you predicted 30 storms and 24 occur, error deduction is half of 21, or 10.5. Scores around 95 usually win this contest. Note: If you discover your forecast is a duplicate of an earlier submitted forecast and you want to alter your forecast to nearest available different forecast, post by June 10. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I suspect it is a product of the heat sink element of the Carnot engine (a simple way to describe the operation of a hurricane or a steam turbine power plant) becoming warmer as well, but Instability/potential intensity is not rising in line with the record warm SSTs. Perhaps an indicator the seasonal numbers won't be as extreme as some suggest. OT- Twitter posts used to actually appear embedded in the AmEx post. Something changes. https://x.com/DrKimWood/status/1798745800031523106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 These last two forecasts will be added in same way as earlier late entry (see post on June 8). Ineligible to win contest but will be ranked. If let's say one ends up between 7th and 8th, it will be rank 7.5 ... but will cap possible ranks at 2.5. Any entries after today's post will not be noted in table, sorry ... first named storm Alberto is up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
