Description: A Bias-corrected Root Mean Square Error (BCRMSE; solid line) score of 0.0 represents highly skillful 2-m dewpoint forecasts across the western contiguous United States. A Mean Error (ME; dashed line) of 0.0 represents forecasts that are neither too moist nor too dry when the observed 2-m dewpoint is 40°F or higher. The y-axis represents the BCRMSE and ME in °F, and the x-axis represents the number of hours between the forecast issuance and valid times (i.e., lead time). Different colored lines represent different models, according to the legend.



Description: A Bias-corrected Root Mean Square Error (BCRMSE; solid line) score of 0.0 represents highly skillful 2-m dewpoint forecasts across the central contiguous United States. A Mean Error (ME; dashed line) of 0.0 represents forecasts that are neither too moist nor too dry when the observed 2-m dewpoint is 50°F or higher. The y-axis represents the BCRMSE and ME in °F, and the x-axis represents the number of hours between the forecast issuance and valid times (i.e., lead time). Different colored lines represent different models, according to the legend.

Description: A Bias-corrected Root Mean Square Error (BCRMSE; solid line) score of 0.0 represents highly skillful 2-m dewpoint forecasts across the southern contiguous United States. A Mean Error (ME; dashed line) of 0.0 represents forecasts that are neither too moist nor too dry when the observed 2-m dewpoint is 50°F or higher. The y-axis represents the BCRMSE and ME in °F, and the x-axis represents the number of hours between the forecast issuance and valid times (i.e., lead time). Different colored lines represent different models, according to the legend.



Description: A Bias-corrected Root Mean Square Error (BCRMSE; solid line) score of 0.0 represents highly skillful 2-m dewpoint forecasts across Alaska. A Mean Error (ME; dashed line) of 0.0 represents forecasts that are neither too moist nor too dry when the observed 2-m dewpoint is 30°F or higher. The y-axis represents the BCRMSE and ME in °F, and the x-axis represents the number of hours between the forecast issuance and valid times (i.e., lead time). Different colored lines represent different models, according to the legend.
