Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “61° to 62°” from 8% to 21% (+13 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 15 11:00Z → Oct 15 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.
- The Kalshi mid captured with each snapshot went from 7% to 2%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 15 14:02Z (data cutoff Oct 15 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 15 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 15 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “61° to 62°” from 8% to 21%. The model inputs that changed: National Blend spread from 4°F to 3°F; GFS MOS forecast high from 60°F to 57°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 57°F to 59°F.
