Chicago high temperature forecast for tomorrow

How hot will it get in Chicago tomorrow? Each day Norynta opens a question on the highest temperature recorded at the National Weather Service station KORD (O'Hare). The four temperature ranges are centred on the official NWS forecast high, so equal odds would put 25% on each; where the crowd leans away from that tells you whether forecasters expect the day to run hotter or cooler than the forecast. Below: the live odds, the exact settlement rule, and every recent day scored against the observed high.

Last 9 days: the NWS forecast high was within ±1°F on 2 of 9 days. Players: no forecasts yet — be the first. See the record

How it settles

Settles to the range containing the highest air temperature reported by NWS station KORD (O'Hare) during the local calendar day (America/Chicago), converted to °F and rounded to the nearest whole degree. Trading closes when the day begins; the result is read once the day's observations are final and can be challenged for a few hours. If fewer than 18 observations are published, the question is voided and credits refunded.

Questions

How hot will it get in Chicago tomorrow?
For Tuesday, October 20, nobody has forecast yet, so the ranges still sit at their opening odds (Under 66°F: 25%; 66–67°F: 25%; 68–69°F: 25%; 70°F or higher: 25%). Make the first forecast on the live card; the odds move as people forecast.
How accurate is the crowd?
Not measured yet: none of the last 9 settled days had player forecasts, so there is no crowd score to report. Meanwhile, over the last 9 settled days, the NWS forecast high was within ±1°F on 2 of 9 days. Every forecast question is scored with a Brier score as soon as it resolves.
Where is the Chicago temperature measured?
At the National Weather Service station KORD (O'Hare). The question uses the maximum of that station's observations published at api.weather.gov for the local calendar day, converted from °C to °F and rounded to the nearest whole degree.
How are the temperature ranges set?
They are centred on the National Weather Service forecast high when the question opens: below forecast−2°F, forecast−2 to forecast−1, forecast to forecast+1, and forecast+2°F or higher. If the official forecast were perfectly calibrated, each range would be roughly equally likely.
Is this real money or betting?
No. Norynta uses free play credits only. There are no deposits, no withdrawals and nothing to cash out; the point is to see how good your forecasts are and how the crowd compares with official data.
