Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “94° or above” from 6% to 29% (+23 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 7 11:00Z → Oct 7 17:00Z; same model version, so the move reflects inputs, not a model change.
- Primary inputs changed: GFS MOS forecast high, National Blend of Models forecast high.
- The Kalshi mid captured with each snapshot went from 5% to 4%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 7 14:02Z (data cutoff Oct 7 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 7 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 7 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “94° or above” from 6% to 29%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS forecast high from 90°F to 91°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 90°F to 92°F.
