Nashville's forecast for Saturday has moved 17°F colder

85°F in the 20261006T00:00Z run, 68°F in the 20261007T18:00Z — 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 Saturday, October 10 at 21Z in Nashville, that trail runs from 85.2°F in the 20261006T00:00Z cycle to 68.5°F in the 20261007T18:00Z — a move of -16.8°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.
