Denver's forecast for Wednesday has moved 15°F colder

69°F in the 20261009T12:00Z run, 53°F in the 20261011T06:00Z — 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 21Z in Denver, that trail runs from 68.5°F in the 20261009T12:00Z cycle to 53.3°F in the 20261011T06:00Z — a move of -15.2°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.
