REGION BEGINNING TO COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A CUT-OFF LOW CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA. NAM AND UKMET ARE NOT HANDLING THIS SYSTEM WELL...KEEPING A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE LOW WEAK. GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO HANDLE THE SYSTEM WELL SO WILL RELY MORE HEAVILY ON THESE. THUS...USED ECMWF AND SOME GFS H7/H8 TEMP GUIDANCE AND PRECIP.

The deadline for Day 2 has passed.  Mac, please don't add your forecasting discussion after the deadline as it'll raise suspicions.  I already saw your numbers before midnight, so I know they're okay.  Day 3 forecasts for Wednesday, May 8 may now commence.

I've attached the results from Day 1 and the overall leaderboard as of now.  The tiebreaker column is just your total error points from the second week of this round, which currently stands at zero for everyone.

Day 3 forecasting is done, and Day 4 forecasting for Thursday, May 9 is underway.  I hope you are starting to realize how much the models struggle with a desert valley where large temperature swings are common.  Here are the results from Day 2 and the current leaderboard:

KCPR Forecast:

Low Temperature: 35°F
Chance of Precipitation: 20%
Amount of Precipitation: 0.02"

MAV/MET blend. Decreased low temperature. PoP and amount from 4km NAM. Not much effort put in on this one. Disregarded ECMWF 2mT's, have been far from stellar at this point.
