Dallas's forecast for Thursday has moved 11°F colder

92°F in the 20260920T06:00Z run, 81°F in the 20260921T06:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 20°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Thursday, October 1 at 18Z in Dallas, that trail runs from 91.5°F in the 20260920T06:00Z cycle to 80.8°F in the 20260921T06:00Z — a move of -10.7°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.
