Salt Lake City's forecast for Sunday has moved 13°F warmer

68°F in the 20260909T18:00Z run, 81°F in the 20260911T12:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 8 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 14°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, September 13 at 18Z in Salt Lake City, that trail runs from 68.4°F in the 20260909T18:00Z cycle to 81.4°F in the 20260911T12:00Z — a move of +13.0°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.
