Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “79° to 80°” from 21% to 8% (−13 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 21 23:00Z → Oct 22 05:00Z; 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 2% to 2%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 21 23:00Z (data cutoff Oct 21 23:00Z) and the one at Oct 22 05:00Z (cutoff Oct 22 05:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “79° to 80°” from 21% to 8%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS forecast high from 71°F to 73°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 77°F to 75°F.
