Escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Austin departure delay risk 6–9 PM Friday at 64%
What changed: 52% → 64% since the 6:00 AM CDT forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 55 departures scheduled from Austin 6–9 PM Friday an average 64% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 45%. From the 2:00 PM CDT forecast (model famB-sd-v4i). The model changed since the previous item (from famA-fc-v3+famB-sd-v4i), 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.
