Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “94° to 95°” from 5% to 22% (+17 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 8 11:00Z → Oct 8 17:00Z; same model version, so the move reflects inputs, not a model change.
- Primary inputs changed: National Blend spread, GFS MOS forecast high, National Blend of Models forecast high.
- A comparable market observation was not captured with both snapshots, so no market move is stated.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 8 14:02Z (data cutoff Oct 8 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 8 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 8 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “94° to 95°” from 5% to 22%. The model inputs that changed: National Blend spread from 3°F to 2°F; GFS MOS forecast high from 93°F to 95°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 90°F to 92°F.
