2025 forecast contests -- enter for April 2025 (deadline 06z April 1)

Recommended Posts

January is scored back in the Jan section, generally most of scores are in a narrow range and nobody broke 600 -- and I've decided I won't impose late penalties (would be small anyway) because of the distractions of recent events and it being a weekend etc. Will post a table of Feb forecasts soon.

IAH was +15.7 for Feb 1-10, dry; 1.60" rain fell on Feb 11, still a +8 dep, so will be close to +14 for Feb 1-11. 

DEN was also warm at first but 11th was very cold, anomaly will be close to zero in a day or two.

Will update snowfall contest totals in a few days as snow will be falling at a few locations again today and tomorrow.

final anomalies _____________+1.0 _ -0.8 _ -1.1 ___ -1.6 _ +4.1 _ +2.4 ____ -1.5 _ +6.1 _ -3.6

(Feb 16) _Very cold for next week in eastern and central regions, more variable later. Staying warm in s.w. and cold in n.w. ... will post preliminary scoring for Feb later. DEN will likely fall to -4 but I expect it will recover most or all by Feb 28. 

(Feb 23) _ Rather warm to end Feb in all regions, will adjust projections and preliminary scoring.

(end) _ Late surge of warm temps drove scoring up.

Final scoring for Feb 2025

based on end of month anomalies posted above ... raw scores for PHranged 00-23, so applying a fair range for max 60 rule, range was 20 to 60 in eleven steps (several ties intervened and last 4 steps also boosted +4 to keep pace w/differentials). These scores have ^ designations.

I gave a break on late penalties in Feb (to RJay and so_whats_happening), and I'll do the same for you two as you posted in a similar time frame. Let's say every regular forecaster can expect a break once during the contest year, with second late appearances being penalized as per lenient rules we have. I only impose 1% per half day to 3rd then it would start to increase (after 18z 3rd) to 1% per hour.

All scoring for Feb complete, added Four Seasons winter rankings to previous post today (2nd).

Table of forecasts will follow as I think all regular entrants are in now.
