Dallas's forecast for Saturday has moved 8°F colder

89°F in the 20260921T12:00Z run, 81°F in the 20260923T00:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 19°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, October 3 at 00Z in Dallas, that trail runs from 89.2°F in the 20260921T12:00Z cycle to 80.9°F in the 20260923T00:00Z — a move of -8.3°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.
