Unfortunately, no forecasts were entered on the first day. . . that probably had something to do with my reminder coming so late in the day today, but disappointing nonetheless . . .
Anyone can still enter Day 2 forecasts by the 03z deadline tomorrow evening . . . so don't miss out this time!

Unfortunately, the contest isn't held on Fridays afternoons, so your forecasts (while they do look fairly good) have no use today . . . and if you click on the link in the first post, you'll see that you should have two cities worth of forecasts and should PM me the numbers so no one steals them! But please feel free to come back Monday evening and give it another whirl . . .

Nope, you can enter a forecast on whatever days you have a chance. Scoring is done on a daily basis (for the most part), so feel free to come and go as you choose throughout each week.
