Dallas's forecast for Saturday has moved 13°F colder

92°F in the 20260924T18:00Z run, 79°F in the 20260926T12:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 9 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 21°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, October 3 at 18Z in Dallas, that trail runs from 91.6°F in the 20260924T18:00Z cycle to 78.5°F in the 20260926T12:00Z — a move of -13.1°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.
