Atlanta's forecast for Saturday has moved 9°F colder

73°F in the 20261006T00:00Z run, 64°F in the 20261007T18:00Z — the 2nd-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 14°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, October 10 at 18Z in Atlanta, that trail runs from 73.0°F in the 20261006T00:00Z cycle to 63.8°F in the 20261007T18:00Z — a move of -9.2°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.
