Kansas City's forecast for Tuesday has moved 15°F warmer

69°F in the 20261007T12:00Z run, 84°F in the 20261009T06:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. 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 Tuesday, October 13 at 21Z in Kansas City, that trail runs from 68.8°F in the 20261007T12:00Z cycle to 83.9°F in the 20261009T06:00Z — a move of +15.1°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.
