PDX Weather Watch

So you want to know how accurate your favorite TV station's weather department is ? This week I will be monitoring and recording the forecasts from KATU, KOIN, KGW, and KPTV. I will do two forecast contests, daily weather for Portland and an extended forecast break down.

Daily Forecast Test will look at these three pieces of info: High Temp, Wind Forecast, and Weather Forecasted (ie showers, sun)

Extended Forecast Test will compare High/Low Temp and Weather Forecasted

The rules for the Daily Test are as follows:

Exact temp = 3 points
-1 or +1 = 2 points
-2 or +2 = 1 point
-3 or +3 = 0 points

Weather Forecasted / Wind Forecasted:
This will be based on Weather Observations at PDX. It will be judged in 1/3rds.
If you say showers Morning and Afternoon, you get two points. Showers all day, and it verifys, 3 points.

Rules for Extended Forecast Test:

High / Low Forecast Temps:
Exact temp = 3 points
-1 or +1 = 2 points
-2 or +2 = 1 point
-3 or +3 = 0 points

Weather Forecasted:
Since this is a forecast based on one day, I will judge it as so. If you say showers, and it rains at PDX, then you get a point. Very Simple
