Boston's forecast for Tuesday has moved 8°F colder

66°F in the 20261008T06:00Z run, 58°F in the 20261010T00:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 9 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 19°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Tuesday, October 13 at 18Z in Boston, that trail runs from 66.1°F in the 20261008T06:00Z cycle to 57.8°F in the 20261010T00:00Z — a move of -8.3°F across 8 runs.

The change sits well inside the run's own spread, which is the guidance converging rather than reversing.

Model NBM-QMD, via api.weather.city /v1/history. Percentiles are the same run's own.
