Boston's forecast for Sunday has moved 12°F colder

50°F in the 20261025T12:00Z run, 38°F in the 20261027T06:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 8 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 16°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, November 1 at 12Z in Boston, that trail runs from 50.3°F in the 20261025T12:00Z cycle to 37.9°F in the 20261027T06:00Z — a move of -12.4°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.
