Boston's forecast for Friday has moved 7°F warmer

44°F in the 20261021T12:00Z run, 52°F in the 20261023T06:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 7 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 06Z in Boston, that trail runs from 44.1°F in the 20261021T12:00Z cycle to 51.5°F in the 20261023T06:00Z — a move of +7.4°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.
