Highest temperature in Los Angeles on Oct 28, 2026?
71° to 72° · PRE-WINDOW
Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “71° to 72°” from 26% to 16% (−10 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 27 11:00Z → Oct 27 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 27 14:00Z (data cutoff Oct 27 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 27 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 27 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “71° to 72°” from 26% to 16%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS forecast high from 74°F to 73°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 73°F to 74°F.
