Rolex 24 At Daytona: Forecast Verification

1/25/2015

Well I hope you enjoyed this year's edition of the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Now it is time to check and see how well my forecasts held up to what actually happened at the track. The official readings came from the Daytona Beach International Airport.

Fortunately, most of the forecast wen as expected. There were a lot of misses for Thursday night considering that the time of arrival of the low pressure system came later than expected. With that said, it was good news for the spectators and participants in the CTSC race. The rain held of until the very end when sprinkles started to fall on the backstretch during the last few laps.

This chart will also show that the accuracy of the forecast is usually better as you get closer to the actual day. A seven day forecast will not be as accurate as a 3 day forecast, most of the time. You can still blow it like I did for the low temperature for Thursday night. I said it would be 62, when it actually dropped to 51.

What I am happy about is the forecast for Friday and Saturday that was made on Friday turned out really well. That gave not only the competitiors an accurate forecast, but the fans as well.
