Dallas's forecast for Tuesday has moved 11°F colder

68°F in the 20261013T00:00Z run, 57°F in the 20261014T18:00Z — 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 11°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Tuesday, October 20 at 12Z in Dallas, that trail runs from 68.5°F in the 20261013T00:00Z cycle to 57.1°F in the 20261014T18:00Z — a move of -11.4°F across 8 runs.

The change is larger than the run's own 10th-to-90th percentile spread — the guidance did not merely narrow, it moved off its previous position.

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