Phoenix's forecast for Monday has moved 8°F warmer

63°F in the 20261029T06:00Z run, 70°F in the 20261031T00:00Z — the 3rd-largest revision of the 5 cities on the roster that moved at all. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 17°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Monday, November 2 at 09Z in Phoenix, that trail runs from 62.6°F in the 20261029T06:00Z cycle to 70.4°F in the 20261031T00:00Z — a move of +7.8°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.
