87° to 88° · PRE-WINDOW
Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “87° to 88°” from 13% to 32% (+19 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 20 11:00Z → Oct 20 17:00Z; same model version, so the move reflects inputs, not a model change.
- Primary inputs changed: National Blend of Models forecast high.
- A comparable market observation was not captured with both snapshots, so no market move is stated.
