PAOC weather forecasting team wins WxChallenge

PAOC's weather forecasting team has won first prize in the newly established national collegiate weather forecasting contest, WxChallenge, run by the University of Oklahoma.

The challenge runs for twenty weeks, covering five (5) two-week forecast periods each semester, with a team prize awarded at the end of each semester. Our team managed to win the fall contest, competing for 10 weeks against more than 50 US colleges. 

All the members of our team performed very well, with ten of them ranked in the top 50. Congratulations! See final scores.

We are hoping to keep it forever!
