Highest temperature in New York City on Oct 16, 2026?
74° or below · PRE-WINDOW
Quick read
- pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 moved “74° or below” from 23% to 37% (+14 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 15 11:00Z → Oct 15 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.
- The Kalshi mid captured with each snapshot went from 72% to 73%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 15 14:02Z (data cutoff Oct 15 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 15 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 15 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-maxtemp@1.1.0 — moved “74° or below” from 23% to 37%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS forecast high from 71°F to 74°F; National Blend of Models forecast high from 76°F to 75°F.
