New York's forecast for Saturday has moved 10°F colder

68°F in the 20260923T00:00Z run, 58°F in the 20260924T18:00Z — the 2nd-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 16°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, September 26 at 18Z in New York, that trail runs from 67.9°F in the 20260923T00:00Z cycle to 57.6°F in the 20260924T18:00Z — a move of -10.2°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.
