Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, October 4 at 18Z in Atlanta, that trail runs from 85.0°F in the 20260925T00:00Z cycle to 73.3°F in the 20260926T18:00Z — a move of -11.7°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.
