Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Las Vegas departure delay risk 6–9 PM Friday at 63%
What changed: 53% → 63% since the 7:00 PM PDT forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 71 departures scheduled from Las Vegas 6–9 PM Friday an average 63% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 41%. From the 8:00 AM PDT forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i).
