Salt Lake City's forecast for Saturday has moved 13°F warmer

65°F in the 20260925T12:00Z run, 78°F in the 20260927T00:00Z — the 3rd-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 12°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 78.2°F in the 20260927T00:00Z — a move of +12.8°F across 8 runs.

The change is larger than the run's own 10th-to-90th percentile spread — the guidance did not merely narrow, it moved off its previous position.

Model NBM-QMD, via api.weather.city /v1/history. Percentiles are the same run's own.
