Kansas City's forecast for Thursday has moved 9°F warmer

66°F in the 20260919T18:00Z run, 75°F in the 20260921T12:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 6 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 Thursday, October 1 at 00Z in Kansas City, that trail runs from 66.1°F in the 20260919T18:00Z cycle to 74.9°F in the 20260921T12:00Z — a move of +8.8°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.
