Salt Lake City's forecast for Wednesday has moved 17°F colder

65°F in the 20261010T12:00Z run, 47°F in the 20261012T06:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 26°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Wednesday, October 21 at 18Z in Salt Lake City, that trail runs from 64.7°F in the 20261010T12:00Z cycle to 47.4°F in the 20261012T06:00Z — a move of -17.3°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.
