Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “73° to 74°” from 26% to 16% (−10 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 23 23:00Z → Oct 24 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 6% to 5%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 23 23:00Z (data cutoff Oct 23 23:00Z) and the one at Oct 24 05:00Z (cutoff Oct 24 05:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “73° to 74°” from 26% to 16%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS forecast high from 75°F to 78°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 75°F to 76°F.
