Nearly three dozen fourth to eighth-grade teams from schools across the ArkLaTex will be used this page during the month of February 2020 to create forecasts that predict the high and low temperatures as well as whether or not it will rain or snow. Week one of the competition we will see the future forecasters predict the weather in Shreveport. Forecasting in the second week will shift to Texarkana. During the final week of the contest, we forecasted for Sault Sainte Marie, MI.
Teams receive points for every degree they miss the temperature forecasts and five points if they miss the rain and snow forecasts. Their point total is divided by the number of days a forecast was submitted. Just like golf, the lowest score wins the coveted Weathernator Trophy! Scroll down to see the latest standings.
