What this question means

Note the structure before the numbers. Unlike the other weather questions here, Dallas on 11 September is priced in Fahrenheit and in two-degree buckets rather than single degrees.

The peak is 96-97°F at 33%, then 98-99°F at 23%, 94-95°F at 18%, 92-93°F at 11%, 100-101°F at 7%, 102-103°F at 5%, and thin tails below 91°F.

Bucket width changes how a distribution looks, and it is worth adjusting for. A range covering two degrees naturally collects more probability than a single value, so a 33% peak here is not directly comparable to a 68% peak on a question priced one degree at a time. Read the shape, not the headline number.

What the shape says is that this is a moderately uncertain forecast with a mild lean toward the hot side — the tail above the peak is fatter than the one below it. Late-summer Texas heat has more room to run upward than downward.
