Weather at each end

Too early for a weather forecast for Sun, Oct 4. These odds use the weather this date has had in past years; the forecast for MCO and DCA appears here about 3 days before departure.

How this resolves

Yes if the gate arrival is more than 15 minutes after the scheduled arrival. Cancelled or diverted flights resolve N/A.

Every question here is display only — there is no betting or money involved. Gate times come from the airline; a cancellation resolves only the “Cancelled?” question, and a diversion voids the delay questions.
