Kansas City's forecast for Sunday has moved 8°F colder

84°F in the 20260921T12:00Z run, 76°F in the 20260923T18:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 8 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 13°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, September 27 at 21Z in Kansas City, that trail runs from 83.8°F in the 20260921T12:00Z cycle to 75.8°F in the 20260923T18:00Z — a move of -7.9°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.
