Quick read
- pbe-weather-precip@1.1.0 moved “Miami” from 60% to 41% (−19 pts).
- Later data cutoff: Oct 4 11:00Z → Oct 4 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 43% to 48%.
What changed in the inputs
Between the snapshot captured at Oct 4 11:00Z (data cutoff Oct 4 11:00Z) and the one at Oct 4 17:00Z (cutoff Oct 4 17:00Z), the same model version — pbe-weather-precip@1.1.0 — moved “Miami” from 60% to 41%. The model inputs that changed: GFS MOS max 6-h chance of rain from 47% to 38%; National Blend max 6-h chance of rain from 37% to 20%; GFS MOS chance of rain in the window from 64% to 54%; National Blend chance of rain in the window from 52% to 39%.
