Atlanta's forecast for Tuesday has moved 8°F colder

68°F in the 20260928T00:00Z run, 60°F in the 20260929T06:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 6 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 10°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Tuesday, October 6 at 09Z in Atlanta, that trail runs from 67.9°F in the 20260928T00:00Z cycle to 59.6°F in the 20260929T06:00Z — a move of -8.3°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.
