Phoenix's forecast for Monday has moved 6°F colder

69°F in the 20261031T00:00Z run, 63°F in the 20261031T06:00Z — 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 17°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Monday, November 2 at 10Z in Phoenix, that trail runs from 69.4°F in the 20261031T00:00Z cycle to 63.0°F in the 20261031T06:00Z — a move of -6.4°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.
