Chastened

On Friday, when we put together a forecast for Chattanooga, I noted that WeatherNation was really “swinging for the fences” when they put a light wintry mix in their forecast, at odds with every other member of our forecasting group. Well, it wasn’t a mix, but rain was reported before midnight on Sunday, giving WeatherNation the last laugh. Well, not the last one. Despite having the only correct precipitation forecast, WeatherNation also had the standalone worst temperature forecast. It wasn’t very good for anyone, with lows dropping well below any forecast estimate, and high temperatures sitting at the top end of our forecast range, but Accuweather was the outfit that ultimately took the prize.
Actuals: Saturday, High 50, Low 20
Sunday, .03 inches of rain, High 51, Low 26

Grade: C-D
