De-escalation Forecast
Updated model puts Phoenix departure delay risk noon–3 PM Saturday at 38%
What changed: 53% → 38% since the 2:00 AM MST forecast (model changed)
Tailodds’ model gives the 109 departures scheduled from Phoenix noon–3 PM Saturday an average 38% chance of leaving 15+ minutes late. With calm weather the same flights would average 29%. From the 3:00 AM MST 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.
