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

59°F in the 20261013T00:00Z run, 48°F in the 20261014T18:00Z — the 3rd-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 12°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Thursday, October 22 at 12Z in Nashville, that trail runs from 59.3°F in the 20261013T00:00Z cycle to 48.3°F in the 20261014T18:00Z — a move of -11.1°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.
