NORMAN WEATHER
Desk call + hard boards. Local TV desks on the card.
Leaderboard · hard board
Who’s getting Norman right? Season standings through Sep 10 actuals. Hard board only (0 / 1 / 3 / 4-day, pooled). Sample is still thin — no trophy speech. KOCO marked thin (under 3 graded days). KFOR still rarely makes the scrape.

Foreca leads on temperature checks (no rain column yet). AccuWeather and NWS are close behind with more rain checks in the mix. Local TV (News 9, Fox 25) is early — highs good, lows cold so far. KOCO only has a couple days graded.
100° through Wednesday. Thursday is the fight.

Soft far-out (5 / 6 / 7-day)
Not mature yet. Waiting on Sep 10–11+ from earlier snaps. Thin skill. Not mixed into the hard trophy.
How we score
- Hard boards: 0 / 1 / 3 / 4-day. Soft: 5–7, separate.
- Temp within 2°F. Rain: ≥50% PoP vs ≥0.01" measurable.
- Score = checks earned ÷ checks possible. Each graded day: up to 3 checks (high, low, rain). Missing PoP skips the rain check.
- National: NWS, Mesonet, AccuWeather, Weather Channel, Foreca.
- Local TV: News 9, KFOR 4Warn, KOCO 5, Fox 25.
- Thin sample. No “beats NWS” claim yet.
