2024 N Atlantic tropical season forecast contest _ enter by 1st of June

M.T. Cranium

As we did last year, Boards.ie and Net-weather members are invited to enter a three-forum contest to predict the number of named storms as defined and counted by NOAA in calendar year 2024. Include any counted by contest entry deadline (so far count is zero). 

The entries go into a pool of American Weather Forum, Net-weather, and Boards.ie weather forum entries, tabulated on American Weather Forum. I will report on your progress in this thread, as the season unfolds. The 1st June deadline could be extended a few days if the situation is "dormant" and number of entries justifies an extension but it won't likely be more than a few days into June before the contest is closed to entries. 

1991-2020 average is 14/7/3 but various experts are predicting counts near 22/11/5 so far, and these expert forecasts are included in the contest as markers (not affecting contest ranks).

(Note: predict number of named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes, the standard three element "count" for a tropical season … contest is calendar year not June-Nov season). 

Good luck if you decide to enter. Tae laidir from boards.ie was just one point out of first place in last year's contest with 54 total entries.
