Boston's forecast for Saturday has moved 8°F colder
48°F in the 20261016T18:00Z run, 40°F in the 20261018T12:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 6 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 9°F.
Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, October 24 at 12Z in Boston, that trail runs from 47.9°F in the 20261016T18:00Z cycle to 40.0°F in the 20261018T12:00Z — a move of -7.9°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.
