Comparison Scores For Tahoe-Reno-Carson Weather
Tahoe-Reno-Carson Weather Comparison
I have compared my Truckee, Reno, South Lake Tahoe, and Carson 7 weather forecast with the 7 day weather forecast of the National Weather Service, KTVN Television in Reno and The Weather Channel. And the charts below show the results. You can see that Tahoe-Reno-Carson Weather out performed their competition by a noticeable amount.
Comparison Scores For Tahoe-Reno-Carson Weather are based on high and low temperatures, amount of cloud cover, probability of precipitation and type of precipitation. High and low temperatures are categorized into daytime highs and overnight lows. Cloud cover is broken down into sunny, mostly sunny, partly cloudy, mostly cloudy and cloudy. Examples of probability precipitation, of course are 10% chance of rain 90% chance of rain and so forth. Precipitation is categorized into either rain or snow.
A hypothetical example of scoring goes as follows: The forecast for Monday: high temperature 70 low temperature 40 mostly cloudy with 70% chance of rain. Observations for Monday: High of 68 low of 42, cloudy with rain. Scoring would go as follows. -2 for daytime high and -2 for overnight low. -3 for cloud cover and -3 for probability of precipitation. The total score for the day would be -10 and this would be calculated for each unique day in the seven day forecast.
Observations data come from the seven day National Weather Service observations at city/town airports. Local WebCams are used to override any inaccurate data that may come from these airport observations.
