Salt Lake City's forecast for Saturday has moved 11°F warmer

65°F in the 20260925T12:00Z run, 76°F in the 20260926T00:00Z — 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 17°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, October 3 at 21Z in Salt Lake City, that trail runs from 65.4°F in the 20260925T12:00Z cycle to 76.3°F in the 20260926T00:00Z — a move of +10.9°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.
