Dallas's forecast for Friday has moved 9°F warmer

72°F in the 20260920T18:00Z run, 81°F in the 20260921T12:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 5 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 18°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Friday, October 2 at 06Z in Dallas, that trail runs from 72.2°F in the 20260920T18:00Z cycle to 80.8°F in the 20260921T12:00Z — a move of +8.6°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.
