July 30, 20224 yr Unofficial results with 2 days left. I only graded those who submitted both highs and lows. Each number is the total degrees off the hi/lo each day. The lower the total number the better. I did this quickly so double check my numbers.

July 30, 20224 yr What's surprising about the numbers is out of all the entries, there have only been 2 correct predictions so far for both the hi/lo of the day. Tacoma with 94/65 on Tuesday for SEA and Frontal with 92/59 for PDX on Sunday. There have been 6 entries just 1 degree off and 10 entries just 2 degrees off though. Just shows you how hard weather forecasting is. PNW

Thanks! I always seem to do well in the heatwave/summer forecast contest, not so much in the arctic blast/winter contest. ? You are doing good for a rookie. You nailed the high temp for PDX yesterday but was just 1 degree off on the low. PNW

You are doing good for a rookie. You nailed the high temp for PDX yesterday but was just 1 degree off on the low. Looks like no one did that great for Saturday. I guessed 95 and PDX hit 102. The GFS is also forecasting 101 for today (Euro: 100), while I put 93. Looks like Monday and Tuesday might hit 90 as well, which would tie the record for 90 degree days in a row at PDX. Too late to extend it now I guess but the duration of this heatwave has been impressive.

August 1, 20224 yr I actually did well with my very general forecast. I went with 88 - 95 for each day for SEA Monday through Friday which was perfect, but I never really made an official forecast for the whole thing. Death To Warm Anomalies!
