Since my monthly model comparisons compare against both of those outlets (except the NWS LAMP forecasts and the RUC), I figure I'm including many other websites' accuracy ratings by association! I'll look into it though.<br /><br />Thanks for the good word. <br />--Erik, MemphisWeather.netMeteorologist Erik Proseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116114428520631122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095709393884268330.post-33249273642460251712009-07-10T12:44:28.814-05:002009-07-10T12:44:28.814-05:00Great job, Erik!

It's hard to argue with statistics, and I agree that other parts of the forecast are often too subjective to be quantified with any accuracy.<br /><br />I'm sure it's too much work, but I'd bet that you'd do even better against some of the Internet weather sites(weather.com, accuweather.com, weatherunderground.com, simpleweather.com, etc.) since Internet sites often just use computer-generated numbers, not forecaster-generated numbers.Paul Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175293982146221983noreply@blogger.com
