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

48°F in the 20261028T06:00Z run, 55°F in the 20261030T00:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 4 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 Thursday, November 5 at 09Z in Boston, that trail runs from 47.8°F in the 20261028T06:00Z cycle to 54.6°F in the 20261030T00:00Z — a move of +6.8°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.
