A few thoughts about NFC: While this is an individual contest, you are encouraged to have group map discussions and/or talk to other participants about the forecast at hand. Ask senior forecasters for their opinion (I'm sure they'll share their thoughts), offer your insight to other forecasters and develop a general consensus about the situation. However, always enter your own forecast and do not be overly swayed by any single forecaster. Weigh model guidance carefully, but remember that the goal is to beat guidance (and everyone else). Good luck and have fun!
