Boston's forecast for Monday has moved 9°F colder

52°F in the 20261027T00:00Z run, 43°F in the 20261028T18:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 11°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Monday, November 2 at 12Z in Boston, that trail runs from 52.1°F in the 20261027T00:00Z cycle to 42.9°F in the 20261028T18:00Z — a move of -9.2°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.
