Chicago's forecast for Monday has moved 10°F colder

60°F in the 20261107T00:00Z run, 50°F in the 20261108T18:00Z — the 3rd-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 17°F.

Successive cycles do not merely refresh a forecast; they leave a trail. For Monday, November 16 at 18Z in Chicago, that trail runs from 60.4°F in the 20261107T00:00Z cycle to 50.4°F in the 20261108T18:00Z — a move of -10.0°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.
