Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Phoenix departure delay risk 9 PM–midnight Friday at 66%
What changed: 53% → 66% since the 10:00 PM MST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 58 departures scheduled from Phoenix 9 PM–midnight Friday an average 66% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 40%. From the 10:00 AM MST forecast (model famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i).
