Boston's forecast for Wednesday has moved 14°F warmer

53°F in the 20261027T06:00Z run, 67°F in the 20261029T00:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 15°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Wednesday, November 4 at 18Z in Boston, that trail runs from 52.8°F in the 20261027T06:00Z cycle to 67.2°F in the 20261029T00:00Z — a move of +14.4°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.
