To prove how dependable The Storm Team 36 forecast can be, each weekday we present our "3 Degree Guarantee". Every month a new charity is selected and it starts with $100. During the week when Chief Meteorologist Jon James gets the forecast right within 3 degrees, Paul Miller Ford & Mazda along with WTVQ donates $50 dollars to charity every time he is correct. This way you, the viewer, can root for Jon to get it right.

The 3 Degree Guarantee benefits Central Kentuckians in two different ways: Jon has a record of about 90% forecast accuracy, and each time he is right it will benefit the community. Follow the link below to see how accurate Jon has been over the last several months.

WTVQ decided to do the guaranteed forecast after WeatherRate, and independent company studied the forecasts of all the Lexington TV stations for 20 months and determined that WTVQ had the most accurate forecast. Weatherrate continues to monitor the market's forecasts, but we chose to let our forecast stand up to the ultimate scrutiny, we tell you the next day if we were right or not. No other station in central Kentucky dares do that. Jon delivers his guaranteed forecast Monday through Friday during 11@11 and the next day at 6pm Jon reveals how he did.

Each month WTVQ selects a new charity. Over the past 18 months WTVQ and Paul Miller Ford & Mazda have donated more than $18,000 dollars to area charities. Here is a partial listing of the charities aided by Jon's Exclusive 3-Degree-Guarantee:

    * Chrysalis House
    * Fayette Education Foundation
    * Central Kentucky Riding for Hope
