Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “77° to 78°” from 25% to 36% (+11 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 25 11:00Z → Oct 25 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.
- 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 25 14:02Z (data cutoff Oct 25 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 25 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 25 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “77° to 78°” from 25% to 36%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS forecast high from 73°F to 74°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 76°F to 77°F.
