Phoenix's forecast for Thursday has moved 11°F colder

86°F in the 20261010T12:00Z run, 76°F in the 20261012T06:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 11 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 17°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Thursday, October 22 at 00Z in Phoenix, that trail runs from 86.1°F in the 20261010T12:00Z cycle to 75.6°F in the 20261012T06:00Z — a move of -10.6°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.
