Quick read
- pbe-weather-precip@1.1.0 moved “College Station” from 42% to 29% (−13 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 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.
- The Kalshi mid captured with each snapshot went from 26% to 19%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 27 11:00Z (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-precip@1.1.0 — moved “College Station” from 42% to 29%.
