Any interest? We did this last year for Isabel.

The deadline would be ~24 HRS before landfall, which based on the latest NHC
forecast, would be around 2 PM Friday.

Forecast elements:

Landfall:
1 - Lat / Lon.
Error measured in miles
2 - Date/time.
Error measured in minutes.
3 - Central sea-level pressure
Error measured in millibars.
4 - Over-land max wind speed and gust (in knots) at a METAR-reporting
surface station within 12 HRS of landfall.
Error measured in knots.
5 - Max storm total rainfall (any published, verifiable source, such as TWC,
CDUS41, PNS).
Error measured in inches.

Landfall + 24 hours
1 - Lat / Lon. Error measured in miles

Error scores for each element will be normalized, then averaged for the
final score. Low score wins.

When you picking your landfalling lat&lon, you might want to use this
application...

Count me in as well. Is this the announcement of the contest? Would
landfall be 2pm or would the contest entry deadline be 2 pm?

The announcement will be ~48 HRS before landfall.
The deadline will be ~24 HRS before landfall.

NHC/s 5 PM forecast stays the course with landafll expected around 2 PM
Saturday.
Last two runs from the EC have landfall in GA a couple days later.
MRF has been well E of FL for several days.

Plenty-o-uncertainty to go around.

Deadline Friday, August 3 @ 2 PM EDT SHARP! No grace period.

Post your entry to the NG under this thread or new thread with 'Frances
Forecast Contest' in the Subject line and send a copy to: ToweringQs AT
adelphia.net (replace AT with @)

Forecast elements:

Landfall:
1 - Lat / Lon.

Error measured in miles based on where the leading edge of the eyewall
intersects land, as depicted on the 0.5° elevation angle from the closest,
usable 88-D site.

2 - Date/time.
Error measured in minutes based on when the leading edge of the eyewall
intersects land, as depicted on the 0.5° elevation angle from the closest,
usable 88-D site.

3 - Central sea-level pressure

Error measured in millibars, based on closest METAR reporting site or NWS
bulletin.

4 - Over-land max wind speed and gust (in knots) at a METAR-reporting
surface station within 12 HRS of landfall.

Error measured in knots based on closest METAR reporting site.

5 - Max storm total rainfall (any published, verifiable source, such as TWC,
CDUS41, PNS).

Error measured in inches based on METAR reports, NWS bulletin, TWC, or other
verifiable source.


Landfall + 24 hours
1 - Lat / Lon.

Error measured in miles based on analysis of METAR reports and/or 0.5°
elevation scan from nearby 88-D site.

Error scores for each element will be normalized with a z-score, then
averaged for the final score. All forecast elements have equal weight. Low
score wins. In the event of a tie, earliest entry wins.

Contest Administrator reserves the right to reject any entry to protect the
integrity of the contest.

When you picking your landfalling lat&lon, you might want to use this
application...

You crossposted to ne.weather & ne.weather.moderated, and it was not by
mistake. Do this a few more times and you'll have to consider banning
yourself from the moderated group.

Best to keep the TQ bullshit on the bullshit group and don't contaminate

You are in no position to dictate who can post to the moderated group,
Bartlo. With all the noise you inject into ne.weather, you are
hypocritical for criticizing others on their posting habits.

There was no bullshit in TQ's post. It was on-topic for the group, and
didn't even mention you (imagine that). Is there a reason why you're so
obsessed with TQ that you have to insert yourself in any thread
involving him/her even if its not about you?

You appear to have a persecution complex, Bartlo (that is an opinion,
not a statement of fact or diagnosis). I'll ask again : have you ever
considered speaking to a medical doctor to clear up whether you might
have a problem or not?

Well, people AREN'T supposed to crosspost to both groups - it is specifically
forbidden in the n.w.m charter. I though I did so by mistake in this post,
but I only saw it here. Mistakes can happen, but it should not be done
intentionally.

Not that particular post, but it is coming - just watch.

The problem I have is pests thinking something is wrong with me instead of
them.

You don't suppose that everyone is preconditioned to respond to you in a
