First Forecast

This'll be WxChallenge style, sort of. It's inspired by that at least. In that I'll post forecasts daily or every second day for the day or two days coming up and then verify them later.  But why should I continue to learn about forecasting in random US cities when I can attempt to figure out St. John's?

Also, forecasting is not exact even though most people seem to pretend it is and then complain when it's wrong. I'll probably try giving ranges on my high and low temps but also times. Usually the time for a high forecast will be near the end of the afternoon while the low will be just before sunrise. Fronts and precip(itation) can change that though so I'll indicate special cases.

For precip amounts I'll probably give a range estimate like you'd see on EC only instead of indicating 'chance of showers' I'll forecast showers with the lower limit at 0, for example 0-3mm. I'll also describe timing and intensity.

Also times will be in 24h time format (complain if you hate that and I'll do am/pm) and in Newfoundland time (UTC -3:30, -2:30 during daylight savings which is in effect now - note that forecast models give time in UTC). And temperatures in Celsius.

Okay so I'll give tomorrow a go.

Tuesday October 5th:

Mix of sun and clouds

10/05 05:00 low:      7

10/05 16:00 high: 12-13

 overnight low:       5-6 

Models used: NAM

We'll be getting a cold front beginning early Wednesday so expect that day to be cold

Okay thankfully tomorrow's forecast is easy. Didn't put in much effort here, will hopefully put more into it as I progress.
