Phoenix's forecast for Monday has moved 7°F warmer

64°F in the 20261028T12:00Z run, 71°F in the 20261030T06:00Z — the 3rd-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 15°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Monday, November 2 at 06Z in Phoenix, that trail runs from 64.0°F in the 20261028T12:00Z cycle to 70.7°F in the 20261030T06:00Z — a move of +6.7°F across 8 runs.

The change sits well inside the run's own spread, which is the guidance converging rather than reversing.

Model NBM-QMD, via api.weather.city /v1/history. Percentiles are the same run's own.
