The forecasts for this day so far. It's scored once the day is over.

How the forecasts changed

Each forecaster's high, low and chance of rain for this day every time they changed, from a week before to now (1:37 a.m.). A flat stretch is a forecast holding; a zig-zag is a forecaster changing its mind. The shaded part is the day itself.

The chance of rain

KSHB 41's and KMBC 9's forecast articles don't give a chance of rain. KCTV5's and FOX4's graphics show one only when there is one, so a day without one there is drawn at 0%.

Every change

Back-and-forth: how far the forecast moved one way and then back, in degrees: all its moves minus the overall change, so a forecast that heads one way (60°, 63°, 65°) scores 0 and one that changes its mind (68°, 72°, 68°) scores 8. For the chance of rain it's in percentage points (30%, 60%, 30% scores 60). (The scorecard counts the high's changes until 9 a.m. on the day and the low's until midnight before it.)
