Boston's forecast for Friday has moved 11°F warmer

34°F in the 20261106T12:00Z run, 45°F in the 20261108T06:00Z — the 2nd-largest revision of the 8 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 Friday, November 13 at 09Z in Boston, that trail runs from 33.7°F in the 20261106T12:00Z cycle to 44.9°F in the 20261108T06:00Z — a move of +11.2°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.
