Atlanta's forecast for Sunday has moved 9°F colder

70°F in the 20261027T00:00Z run, 61°F in the 20261028T18:00Z — 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 13°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Sunday, November 1 at 21Z in Atlanta, that trail runs from 69.9°F in the 20261027T00:00Z cycle to 61.2°F in the 20261028T18:00Z — a move of -8.6°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.
