Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Las Vegas departure delay risk 3–6 PM Friday at 60%
What changed: 49% → 60% since the 6:00 PM PDT forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 122 departures scheduled from Las Vegas 3–6 PM Friday an average 60% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 38%. From the 8:00 AM PDT forecast (model famB-sd-v4i). The model changed since the previous item (from famA-fc-v3), so some or all of this change comes from the new model rather than new information. This is a forecast, not a report of delays.
