Boston's forecast for Sunday has moved 11°F warmer

59°F in the 20261004T06:00Z run, 69°F in the 20261006T00:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 15°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, October 11 at 18Z in Boston, that trail runs from 58.5°F in the 20261004T06:00Z cycle to 69.2°F in the 20261006T00:00Z — a move of +10.6°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.
