Boston's forecast for Friday has moved 6°F warmer

43°F in the 20261021T06:00Z run, 50°F in the 20261023T00:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 3 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 13°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Friday, October 30 at 12Z in Boston, that trail runs from 43.4°F in the 20261021T06:00Z cycle to 49.7°F in the 20261023T00:00Z — a move of +6.3°F across 8 runs.

The change sits well inside the run's own spread, which is the guidance converging rather than reversing.

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