Nashville's forecast for Sunday has moved 8°F colder

83°F in the 20261003T18:00Z run, 74°F in the 20261005T12:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 18°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, October 11 at 21Z in Nashville, that trail runs from 82.5°F in the 20261003T18:00Z cycle to 74.2°F in the 20261005T12:00Z — a move of -8.3°F across 8 runs.

The change sits well inside the run's own spread, which is the guidance converging rather than reversing.

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