Nashville's forecast for Wednesday has moved 13°F warmer

74°F in the 20261007T18:00Z run, 86°F in the 20261009T12:00Z — 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 16°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Wednesday, October 14 at 18Z in Nashville, that trail runs from 73.7°F in the 20261007T18:00Z cycle to 86.3°F in the 20261009T12:00Z — a move of +12.7°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.
