Kansas City's forecast for Saturday has moved 15°F colder

61°F in the 20261105T18:00Z run, 46°F in the 20261107T12:00Z — the largest revision of any city on the roster. The current run's 10th-to-90th percentile spread at that hour is 19°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Saturday, November 14 at 00Z in Kansas City, that trail runs from 61.1°F in the 20261105T18:00Z cycle to 46.1°F in the 20261107T12:00Z — a move of -14.9°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.
