it for whatever reason is toggling between yesterday and today. This is the current timestamp: Updated 10:45 PM ET on Oct. 24. If you see something from 12 AM today, then you are looking at yesterday's, which is still showing up sometimes.

You aren't going insane, don't worry...lol.

it is at 71% in the projection.

But the weird thing is that I saw the update, then went back and it had yesterday's forecast again, and now the update is there again. Make sure you see this as the timestamp:
