Battle of the Forecasts: We Have a Winner

Earlier, I set up a weather forecast cage match between the National Weather Service and The Weather Channel. The results are in.

But first, I must say by 4:00 this afternoon both sides had blinked. The NWS, which had earlier predicted a 30% chance of rain, moved it up to 40%. TWC went from 80% to 60%.

In the end, we got rain. Not a whole lot and the storm had diminished a lot before it got here but we did get rain. So, since The Weather Channel was more adamant about it earlier, I declare them the winner. (Note that a commenter on the original post agrees with me noting that TWC came closer on temperature as well.)

Watch this space for the upcoming grudge match.
