Salt Lake City's forecast for Sunday has moved 12°F warmer

60°F in the 20260908T06:00Z run, 72°F in the 20260910T00:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 16°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, September 13 at 12Z in Salt Lake City, that trail runs from 60.2°F in the 20260908T06:00Z cycle to 72.4°F in the 20260910T00:00Z — a move of +12.2°F across 8 runs.

The change is about half the run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread, so the earlier forecast is still inside the current range of outcomes.

Model NBM-QMD, via api.weather.city /v1/history. Percentiles are the same run's own.
