Where the weather models disagree in Dallas

Dallas, Love Field station · daily high temperature in °F · the next 14 days · using data from 2026-10-28T12:50 UTC

The models are furthest apart on Sat Nov 7, where 4 of them put Dallas's high anywhere from 54° to 78°: ECMWF coldest, GFS hottest. That spread is much greater than typical for forecasts with a 10-day lead at this location.

The band, day by day

55° 60° 65° 70° 75° 80° Oct 28 Oct 30 Nov 1 Nov 3 Nov 5 Nov 7 Nov 9

The shaded band is the lowest to the highest model high each day; the line is the median model. The band pales as models drop out with lead (4 to 7 models across these days), so a narrower far end can mean fewer models.

How this page is built

The models are the independent global centers Open-Meteo serves for this point — GFS, ECMWF IFS, ICON, GEM, UKMO and the AIFS and AIGFS AI models — as The Spread recorded them at its last sweep. NBM and every other blend are omitted because they average the other models.

Each model publishes to a different horizon, which is why Models is counted per day rather than once. Beyond day 14 only two models remain and both are NOAA's, so the page stops there. Range is the lowest to the highest model high; Spread is the highest model high minus the lowest.

Typical spread is the median spread for that lead over the last month here, and needs ten days of forecasts at that lead before it is shown. A wide band ten days out is ordinary and the same band tomorrow is not, so compare each day's Spread with this column.

GEFS p10–p90 is NOAA's GFS ensemble, in its own column because it runs warmer than the other models.
