Dallas's forecast for Saturday has moved 6°F warmer

86°F in the 20260917T18:00Z run, 93°F in the 20260919T12:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 3 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 Saturday, September 26 at 18Z in Dallas, that trail runs from 86.1°F in the 20260917T18:00Z cycle to 92.5°F in the 20260919T12:00Z — a move of +6.4°F across 8 runs.

The change sits well inside the run's own spread, which is the guidance converging rather than reversing.

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