Absolute Vorticity

Good evening all!

It is that time of year again when we're in spring mode but the heat of summer is lurking off in the distance. The annual CVG 90 degree contest is back! Do you think it'll be a hot summer or a cool one? Maybe normal? CVG averages (22) 90 degree days in a season.

Please get your guesses in by Wednesday, May 31 at 12am EDT. The contest runs from June 1st thru Sept 30th. Only 90 degree day highs and above during those months will be counted as part of the contest. We are also bringing back the BONUS CVG got 89'ed! part of the contest so enter your number of days there as well. That will be used in the event of a tie breaker.

Please enter your contest entry the same way that we do every year. See sample entry below.

Sample contest entry:

June - 3
July - 7
August - 10
September - 1
Total # of 90 degree days: 21
# of 89'ed days: 8

As always, I will use the ILN climate report each day for temperature verification scores at CVG, as always. Please ask if there are any questions. Have fun and good luck!

I am going below the avg of 21 days thanks to the onslaught of El Nino coming after a three year Nina. If I'm wrong, then we will bake and someone had better go 25-30 days!

Thinking next Sat has a chance at getting 89'ed. Maybe even 90 since CVG didn't get anything yesterday.
