Kansas City's forecast for Monday has moved 12°F warmer

72°F in the 20261004T12:00Z run, 83°F in the 20261006T06:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 10 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 21°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Monday, October 12 at 21Z in Kansas City, that trail runs from 71.7°F in the 20261004T12:00Z cycle to 83.2°F in the 20261006T06:00Z — a move of +11.5°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.
