Quick read
- pbe-weather-precip@1.1.0 moved “Washington DC” from 52% to 39% (−13 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Nov 12 11:00Z → Nov 12 17:00Z; same model version, so the move reflects inputs, not a model change.
- Primary inputs changed: GFS MOS max 6-h chance of rain, National Blend max 6-h chance of rain, GFS MOS chance of rain in the window, National Blend chance of rain in the window.
- 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 Nov 12 11:00Z (data cutoff Nov 12 11:00Z) and the one at Nov 12 17:00Z (cutoff Nov 12 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-precip@1.1.0 — moved “Washington DC” from 52% to 39%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS max 6-h chance of rain from 38% to 29%; National Blend max 6-h chance of rain from 31% to 19%; GFS MOS chance of rain in the window from 57% to 61%; National Blend chance of rain in the window from 57% to 37%.
