FORECASTWATCH.COM SEPTEMBER DATA AUDITED AND LOADED

High and low temperature errors for September have been audited and loaded into the Drilldown and Compare products. The Year-To-Date numbers have also been updated. High temperature bias returned to near zero after a colder-than-normal August caused bias to go positive (forecasters were predicting, on average, higher temperatures than actual).

After the extensive front-end changes made in the September release, our attention moved to ForecastWatch.com's plumbing in October. While not visible, the October release added infrastructure for the pending release of our precipitation forecast accuracy scoring beta.
