New York's forecast for Friday has moved 8°F warmer

61°F in the 20260920T18:00Z run, 70°F in the 20260922T12:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 4 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 16°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Friday, September 25 at 18Z in New York, that trail runs from 61.4°F in the 20260920T18:00Z cycle to 69.6°F in the 20260922T12:00Z — a move of +8.2°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.
